Beer favorites? My personal favorite at the moment of the big companies is PBR. For craft I like a local ale called 805.

I don't like beer.
Sapporo is my favorite brand of ramen as well. Great basis for meals when I was in college.
No wonder you are a communist.

I don't like alcohol in general.

Ever try a grapefruit beer? It's far better than you might think.
On a warm day a Schofferhofer Grapefruit Hefewizen beer is just lovely an refreshing, and at only a 3.2% ABV is a really safe beer to drink. Really more of a alcohol grapefruit soda that's not sweet like a soda pop.
Really I'd drink any good quality Pilsner, like Urquell, but really with Pilsner type beer you can line up 20 bottles from 20 countries and any difference is so minute as to be indistinguishable.

From my late trip to Alaska; when you go to Alaska, of course you need to eat Salmon, so I found this place selling large fillets of smoked chum salmon for a reasonable cost which also had a random assortment of German condiments. Cue mustard with dill and capers, some kind of horseradish sauce, a box of crackers, and a fillet of smoked chum salmon which it rapidly became apparent was going to be two meals, not one. Smoked salmon is the best preparation, and Alaskan salmon always the best, and personally I find complaints over the quality of Chum to not be deserved; when it's smoked, it's truly perfect texture.
(The act of buying a large random piece of meat and some condiments and eating it in a hotel room can be called "doing a Boris" after the Russian youtube celebrity of the same name, but I don't really know why anyone would ever say such a thing about me!)

Then I take it you've never had gravlax salmon (cold raw cured) with caviar?

I have had it, and I sincerely believe that taking Chum or Humpys and smoking them on alder or birch chips directly from being caught is better.

I can't drink anything with hops in it, too bitter for me. I tend to go more for wine, or mead. Or hard cider/sodas, I like those too.
Although I'll never turn down a good scotch or whiskey.
That describes exactly how I feel about such drinks. I don't like anything with hops very much, yet like those very same varieties of liquor. Though haven't had any mead yet, I'd make a joke about it being hard to find in Balmora, but that would probably be a bit arcane.

Its pretty good. I've only had some local varieties, mind, but a lot of them have similar flavor profiles to wine, so you'll have the more bitter, dinner meads and the sweeter stuff that's just good for drinking by itself. Or served with chipotle brownies, nom.
Chipotle brownies? How good are they? I like both, but how good are they together?

Pretty tasty, but I'm strange and like to pair spicy with sweet a lot. Although the ones I had weren't all that spicy. I miss spicy food, but my roomies don't like it so any time I'm making chili with fresh jalapenos and habaneros in it or making any curry its generally when I'm the only one here x.x
I love spicy food, and can understand the frustration of living with people who don't really like it.
No but I've had Japanese alcoholic grapefruit sodas that were solid.
Sounds good. I once tried an alcoholic kumquat drink from Greece. Was interesting.

Chi-His? I loved the sour apple ones.
Watching Boris' newest video, I got a question: What is doctor's sausage, is it another name for bologna, and where can I get it in Germany?
