In a large soup pot over medium heat sauté bacon until crispy.  Remove with a slotted spoon but reserve drippings.  Add butter, onion, and bell pepper.  Sauté until onions are transparent.  Add garlic and cook one more minute. 

Add brisket and all seasonings.  Cook 3 minutes on low allowing seasonings to set in.

Add beer and deglaze the pot.  Cook 3 minutes.  Add tomato sauce and green chiles.  Let simmer 30 minutes.  The longer it can cook the better.
