WWAW putting slices of lime in regular domestic beers?

[NortheastPhilly]

It has the same exact effect as putting it in a Corona, yet why is this done strictly to Coronas?

Once in a while, if limes are readily available at a barbecue or something, I’ll throw a lime into my Miller Lite. It goes together just as well.

Who is behind Coronas monopoly on limes? The jews? I want answers.

Corona and lyme are diseases also, maybe that is why they go together

The purpose of putting limes in beers was to prevent flies from getting into an opened bottle.

Coronas need lime to dull that awful taste. Decent Mexican beers like Negra Modelo are improved by a lil squirt of lime to brighten them up. Even better is a good cerveza con preparada: lime, hot sauce and Tajin on the rim. It's like a real low-rent Bloody Mary.

It's like a hat on a hat.

WWAWD orange slices in Blue Moon’s? I don’t drink them very often but they’re good to have a few when you’re out at dinner.

You know what I never understood? A bunch of the older people on my mom's side of the family put salt in their beer. Like just regular table salt. Every time I've asked someone about it they just say "try it." I've never tried it.

I don’t care for it. And I always specify no fruit if I’m ordering a wit also. Beer shouldn’t need accoutrements.

 

[Jizz]

they put lemon slices in the pitchers of wheat beer at the bar i drink at and it's pretty good. I'd still rather just have a grapefruit road soda though! #Ruizing

I dunno ask your boyfriend if that's your thing.

Geddit Because lime with beers is for the gay man

I will answer this seriously, which is probably a mistake.

Coronas, due to being served in clear bottles almost all the time here, have a strong skunky smell/taste. You'll note if you have Corona in a can or draft, the flavor is different and lacks that. At this point, many people associate that skunky smell which is caused by light hitting the beer with Corona or "imported" beer. The lime masks that.

My issue with adding citrus to a beer is that it makes it go flat. So to answer the question of "WWAWD putting slices of lime in regular domestic beers"....i'm just not there, brothaman. The other beers don't have that skunky smell.

It's PFG, brotherman. Who says it's only for Mexican beer? No rules, no management, our show!

That’s an older person thing but I always thought it was just for draft beers to reduce the foam.

Might be like putting a lil twang of salt on a sweet waddymellum. It brings out... like, accents.

Probably a point that's already been made, but pretty funny that Bud Light was his go to brand and it became the tranny beer.

 

[aRTie02150]

Bud Light used to be the most consumed beer in Mexico at one point.

 

[aRTie02150]

Boy I really nuked this discussion with my random fact about Bud Light and Mexico.

I was shocked myself, I figured Corona or Modelo, but I remember a distributor told me Mexico loves Bud Light. This was back in like 2010 though, things may have changed.

I ordered these Latino salt/lemon-lime loli-pops, the same brand also has salty/sweet lemon lime powder, Hot sauce and that powder on the rim of tequila shots and cold beers is worth checking out.
