I add salt to beer and been doing that for years, although not needed for PBR.
Salt is added to beer primarily to enhance flavor by reducing bitterness, boosting malt sweetness, and highlighting subtle notes, while also having cultural and sensory effects.
Flavor Enhancement
Adding a small pinch of salt to beer can soften bitternessand bring out malt sweetness, making the beer taste more balanced and enjoyable. Sodium ions interact with taste buds, reducing the activation of certain bitter receptors and allowing flavors like caramel, bread-like grains, and subtle fruit notes to become more noticeable. This effect is similar to how salt enhances the flavor of many foods, acting as a flavor amplifier rather than just adding saltiness.
I forgot to state I pull this off the internet. My wife read to me an article about salt in beer.
My Bad.
