I often have a debate with my foodie friends down here in the South not about which BBQ joint makes the best pulled pork, but which one makes the best collard greens. Opinions and styles very widely. Some like theirs with a heavy dose of peppery heat. Others prefer lots of vinegar. Then there are those who prefer collards studded with meaty chunks of ham or bacon. A fourth camp would rather have the earthy flavors of the greens shine. This recipe is the perfect marriage of them all. Why? Because the stout blends the heat, vinegar, and bacon in a hearty earthiness.
