Honey beer
Two honey beers for your consideration:
City Honey Bock containing 2 lbs of honey in every 31 gallon barrel from a micro brewery in Wisconsin.
Honey Amber Rose from South Florida -- low on alcohol, low on carbs. Just one question, if you doesn't get you drunk and it doesn't make you fat, what is the point!! Oh, it claims to be the first beer for women.
And there's a whole factsheet on honey in beers from the US National Honey Board [pdf file]. The Board suggests clover honey for light beers and buckwheat for stouts and porters and other honeys for mid-range beers.

The honey beer blog is interesting, but what is the difference between mead and honey beer?

In honey beer, honey is used to replace some of the malt (or sugar!) in the recipe -- otherwise the beer recipe should be pretty much intact with hops. The alcohol content will be the normal beer range, typically about 4 to 5% by volume.
Mead, strictly speaking, is a mixture of honey and water fermented usually giving an alcohol content of 10% or more. It's closer to a wine than a beer and can have various other ingredients like herbs to give metheglin or grape juice to give pyment.
