what type of beer is best with a squeeze of lime?

[scottmandue]

Call me a beer snob (you won't be the first) but I only drink out of a beer bottle if I'm camping or tailgating, otherwise I pull a glass out of the freezer.

Modelo and Dos don't need lime IMHO...

Salt is for shot of tequila...

I find it slightly amusing that Americans turn their nose up at "putting fruit in our beer" when Europeans were doing it long before this country was founded.

Asking what beer needs a twist of lime (or any fruit, for that matter) is like asking which steak A1 steak sauce goes best with...

You could hardly tell it was anything more than a squeeze of citrus in a beer.

Lime is good in a beer for some reason when it is hot out, I never did get scurvy when I lived in Texas

but what about all the other beers?

no beer deserves a wedge of lime. or lemon. okay, budweiser is already crap, so put some lime in it. YMMV.

How about "Loaded Coronas?"

Pop open a Corona, take a drink, and then dump a shot of Limon Absolut in there. Thumb, invert, revert, drink.

I thought I had seen a lot of trashy stuff but that was a new one for me. I finished it, though!

No lime for my beer taste.

Anyhow, the story I understand of how the lime with Corona started was just a bet between two bartenders about creating a new trend. Marketing by Corona on the idea by seperating themselves from the others.
