Remove skins from sausage; chip or crumble and put into a 6 to 8 quart pan. Stirring often, cook over medium-high heat until sausage is well browned, about 15 minutes; lift out meat and set aside. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Add beef and pork to pan, a portion at a time and stir often until browned, about 20 minutes; set aside as browned. Add onions and garlic to pan and cook until limp, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes (break apart with a spoon) and their liquid, masa flour, beer, chili powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, cayenne, cilantro, lemon juice, salsa, jalapeno, and bell pepper.
Return meats and any juice to pan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover and simmer until: meats are very tender, about 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
Skim off any fat, then ladle chili into serving bowls. Serve with sliced avocados, sour cream, lime wedges and shredded cheddar cheese.
