Poll question: Do you take lime or salt in your beer?
I get in a mood sometimes when I like to put a dash of table salt in my beer. Right now I'm enjoying a cold glass of Negra Modelo with a dash of salt. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm tasty!

1. No fruit in beer.
That is man law.

My aunt used to put salt in her beer, I never understood why.

I like my beer as is.

3. I prefer the lime and salt without the beer.
Nasty piss water.

5. Depends on the beer.
Corona requires lime, as does Sol and Pacifico.

Damn, I know what I'm buying tomorrow.

But that's just me.

6. I also put salt on the cocktail napkin so that the glass of beer won't stick to the napkin

and toss the tequila over your shoulder...

21. My heartiest recommendation
This is from the Harpoon brewery, Boston Mass.

Their white beers, particularly the hefeweizen, is excellent.

Even without the citrus...

48. Like Bell's Oberon Ale, for instance.
The best American wheat ale I've ever tasted. Rival even to the German hefes.

27. Never. If I get a beer that would be IMPROVED by lime or salt....
...I send that CRAP back, and get a better beer.

32. I remember seeing before that you liked black pepper in beer.
That has to be a unique taste to say the least.

33. So do I. Seasonings do not make a piss water beer palatable.
The brew's gotta be good to drink by itself.

36. I like lime, salt, and tabasco, sometimes all at once.
aka a Michelada (or a variation thereof).

38. When I was drinking Duke ("it's a man's beer!") I'd sprinkle some salt
in it to give it a kick; it was swill otherwise but it was all I could get back then..

41. If it's swill it needs to be icy cold for me to even think about drinking it.
The salt just seems to taste good in a beer at times.

Lime is great in iced tea or hot tea, salt on my fries.

No alcoholic stuff for me, though.

49. I enjoy some beers that have been brewed using fruit; but
I can't abide the thought of sticking an orange in my hefeweiss or brown sugar around my pumpkin ale.
Yuck.

I wonder what a chili pepper brew would be like...
