In a 10-inch cast-iron or other oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon to paper towels, reserving the bacon fat in the pan. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Whisk in the flour until blended, then gradually whisk in the milk and beer. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and cheddar cheeses until melted and well combined. Add the cooked macaroni, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper, stirring to coat the pasta. Bake the mac and cheese, uncovered, until bubbly, 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle the reserved crispy bacon and additional chopped green onions over the top before serving.
