1. Cook bacon in saucepan on medium-high, stirring frequently until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, celery and butter; sauté until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Reduce to medium. Add flour. Stir constantly for about 4 minutes.
2. Whisk in stock. Bring to boil 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add milk and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Do not boil after adding milk.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, Tabasco, Worcestershire, salt and pepper until soup is smooth. Stir in ale. If soup is too thick, thin to desired consistency with warm milk. Serve hot, garnished with scallions or chives.
