Having grown up in South Texas, the story was that Mexicans reused bottle caps, and bottles. Being Mexicans, they did not wash the bottles well. Thus, we gringo's used a bit of lime to clean the neck, and thought WTH, just dump the lime in the beer. It was interesting and we were lazy. So, we started a trend. Now thousands of metrosexuals use lime in beer and have no clue as to why.

The Brits have been using lime in beer a lot longer than you South Texas gringo’s. And in Nebraska they use tomato juice and call it a “Red Beer”. Salt in beer is also something that goes way back.
