I left out the bacon, which I'm sure would have made them even better, but I really liked these. The onion/beer/rice vinegar flavor was great. I used a porter & it went with the greens really well. This will be my go-to greens recipe!

EXCELLENT! The type of beer you use will for sure control the flavor. I used a very Hoppy beer which gave a very strong flavor that really stood up great to the strong flavor of the collards ;-D I think these are amazing and my husband loved them as well. Made for a group and they raved about it! Will be making these as my new go to recipe. Thanks Emeril!
