Add the crumbled bacon, beans, ketchup, chipotle pepper (optional), Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard and honey. Mix all ingredients evenly in the skillet. Cover with foil and place over indirect heat and close the lid on your grill to confine the heat for about 20 minutes.Remove foil and continue to cook over indirect heat uncovered with the lid grill closed for 1 hour, checking periodically. Add about 6 ounces of the dark beer (amount is dependent on taste preference) for added smoky flavor and to prevent the dish from becoming too dry.
