The traditional Saturday night dinner in "Beantown," these beans are slow-cooked allowing their richness and hearty old-fashioned appeal to shine through. Serve them with Boston brown bread for an authentic regional delight.

1/2 cup beer (not dark beer)
1/3 cup minced red or yellow onion
1/3 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons light molasses
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 slices bacon
