title_body: Why would some prefer to put salt in their beer?
upvoted_answer: The same reason people put salt on their food. It enhances the flavor of the beer. 
  
  
    The extra salt has other effects as well though, outside of simply
    making things more salty. Particularly, adding salt to foods helps
    certain molecules in those foods more easily release into the air,
    thus helping the aroma of the food, which is important in our
    perception of taste.
