I like beer flavored beer. I don’t think beer should be sweetened with honey or cherries. I like the german theory - they can only use water, hops, yeast, and grain.
My German friends taught me that every beer from the local brewer contains a loaf of bread :)
If done right, the honey in beer is eaten by the yeast to make alcohol, and is not merely a flavoring, which is simply a hook to make girls like beer.
The only drawback is that compared to regular sugars, honey can take as long as 12 months to be fully used up by the yeast.
That's why I do not brew with honey: I wanna get drunk next week!.
