Add beans to chili pot and stir to heat through. Add tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, and stir 1 minute more then add beer.
Pure the reconstituted anchos and their liquid in a food processor or blender. Add to chili. Simmer to combine the flavors then stir in juice of 1 lime. Cut remaining lime in wedges and serve with chili at table. Top chili with cheese, scallions, cilantro and serve with a few chips alongside for scooping.
