- Soak overnight or 24 hours.

- Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cover and cook for 45 minutes, or until beans are almost tender.

- Finish the dish:
- Chop bacon and in a large heavy skillet cook over moderate heat, stirring, until browned.
- Add beans, salsa, beer, and salt to taste and cook, stirring, until most of liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
