Not necessarily.

 

My sister-in-law is from Mexico. Monterrey. Born there and she puts lime in beer.

 

I think it started over there.

 

Actually, a (Labatt) Blue is not bad limed.  I think Labatt actually makes one with lime.

I heard they started doing this to keep sand flies away while drinking.  

 

This is the correct answer. The lime wedges were just put in the necks to keep flies off.  Then people started doing that for fun.  Then they started pushing them into the beer.  Then they realized that it helped to mask the flavor of sh***y beer and it caught on.
