Have there been beers in the past that incorporated meat?
Just do a quick search on BeerAdvocate for bacon, there's a bunch of them although I don't know how many of those actually use bacon and how many just imitate the flavor. It's probably hard to tell from tasting as well since the Germans managed to figure out a way to make beer taste like meat while adhering to the reinheitgebot (rauchbiers)
