Do you put fruit (lemon/lime/orange) in your beer?

[DodgersGM]

Pretty simple question, as it's all in the title.

I see people doing this all the time and it makes my heart hurt.

For example, earlier today I saw a dude pour a pint of Weihenstephaner hefeweizen (probably the best hefe in the world), and he put TWO squeezed lemon wedges in it.

Those elusive banana and clove notes from the German yeast and wheat? Gone. Ugh!!!

No, I don't use ANY fruit in my beer.

Yes, I use ALL fruits in my beer.

I only use lime in my Mexican beers, and I know this is the only acceptable exception.

I only use lemon in my beers.

I only use orange in my beers.

Lime in a Corona I guess, but if I'm drinking good beer I'll go ahead and be a beer snob and pass on the fruit. I've seen lemon in Hefeweissens and oranges in Witbiers, but I don't go that route.

[Opinion Owner]

Hit anonymous, my tablet sucks. WhiteSteve has no shame in his beer game. Except the whole occasionally drinking Corona thing.

[DodgersGM]

Yeah I feel like a snob myself, but meh, I don't care. I'm not about to ruin a good beer.

You mentioned witbiers...ever had Hoegaarden or Witterkerke? Pretty damn solid examples from that style.

[funkipunk]

No, never have. Never thought about it. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try

[DodgersGM]

Nooo!!! Don't do it! Haha!

[sweatgirl]

I am a allergic to beer so my answer would be no. I do sometimes stick a lime in my vodka and club soda.

[DodgersGM]

Is it the gluten? That's a bummer, but at least you've got alternative drinks. :)

[sweatgirl]

yes its the gluten. sadly I can out drink most people. last sat I had 8 shots and 4 straight vodka and lime drinks and was still standing.

[MaskofInsanity]

NO! It contaminates the deliciousnesss that is beer!

[MaskofInsanity]

Cheers for MH!

[findingdreamland]

I don't drink beer, if it was coke I would definitely choose lemon

[DodgersGM]

You're Belgian (or live in Belgium) and you don't drink beer? Nope, no way. I refuse to believe it! ;)

[findingdreamland]

Hahahahahah yes you have totally have point! Nothing to say , I don't like the taste :)

[DodgersGM]

Haha, fair enough. :)

[SaVes]

C for me. And I barely ever get to drink any Mexican beer.

[DodgersGM]

You're not missing out. But I'm guessing you know this. :P

[SaVes]

I honestly can't judge, since I hardly know any Mexican beer brands.

[DodgersGM]

You're not missing much. Stick with your fancy unfiltered stuff. ;)

[SaVes]

I definitely will.

[MrAtticusLebowski]

You only do it with Corona because the beer is shity'. I can't taste the difference to be honest. It's just a waste of fruit. Ever wonder why you've never seen it on draft? There's a reason for that.

[Awsdrd1990]

i probally would , but i only usually drink darker beers.and they would taste dicusting with fruit in them...(samuel smiths, newcastle, stuff like that..)

but maybe ya lemon in mexican beers if i ever drink them with salt..

[alchemy12]

Corona with lime is the only one I go there with because it's the only one that needs it, ha ha. Negra Modelo? No way does it need lime, it's perfect as is.

[Awsdrd1990]

yup negra modelo is good with out it,, but i think i like bohemia better..

[NoblesseOblige]

When I drink beer, I drink it fast so it's cold. Fruit would be useless.

[NoblesseOblige]

Like I see that whole lime/Corona thing and I just don't understand.

[DodgersGM]

Yeah I agree. At least Corona is crappy enough to sorta justify it. But at that point why drink crappy beer? Yuck!

I knew a Canadian would understand...

[NoblesseOblige]

Ya club beer is garbage anyway.

[NoblesseOblige]

That said I'm not a beer guy anyway. Mojitos! :)

[lovemxo]

I'll add a slice of lime to my Caronas and a little bit of salt :p That's all though.

[biggie90]

Depends on the beer.

Blue Moon - Orange slice
Corona, Modello, Dos Equis - Lime Slice
Shock Top, Heffeveizen - Lemon Slice

[Dzindzer]

No, I don't want to ruin the beer :)

[DodgersGM]

Yay! :) Haha!

[knotme]

Only in my Corona's and then it isn't necessary.

[DodgersGM]

Agreed. I'd rather just drink better beer. LOL

[knotme]

yeah, stout and lagers for me. Although I don't drink that much and its usually Guinness stout.

[Anonymous]

Really the only way to make beer taste like something other than fermented cat piss.

People drink beer so other people can see them drink beer.

[DodgersGM]

You must be drinking American macro brews?

[Opinion Owner]

I've had them all. They're actually about the same.
I grew up in Austin, a city where people never shut up about microbreweries and I studied abroad in Germany where the beer is supposed to be amazing but it was equally bad, sometimes worse.

I just don't like beer at all.

[DodgersGM]

Fair enough.

And yeah I've heard that about Austin. I want to visit soon...I think it'd be my kinda place.

[douride2]

Non of the above.haha

[willshere]

I put lime in my corona. Thats it

[COCOCHANEL]

lime with corona

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

Fruit is for women.

[knotme]

Hey now fruit is for everyone. Its very nutritious

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

I... Yes. That is true. Fruit is good for everyone. ...

Well played.

[alchemy12]

Oh, we're all a little fruity. It's not gender-specific.

[Cheeky_Unfortunate]

I feel like a misogynistic pig.

[alchemy12]

haha, sorry, just messing with you. :P

[knotme]

Its fine we still luv ya.
