I haven't met your American badger to find out if he is adorable, although he is kinda cute.
European badgers will happily tackle larger prey when the opportunity arises, but most of the time all that chasing around strikes them as too much like hard work (a bit like brown and black bears in that respect).
Yes, I am familiar with the Badger Brewery. If you ever find any of their wares, "Tanglefoot", "Fursty Ferret" and "Golden Glory" are all heartily recommended (hell, even the standard "Badger ale" is good stuff). "Blandford Fly" is very different, but enjoyable if the drinker is in the mood.

flesh-slashing, ill-tempered, bad-smellin' badgers
To quote Scott Dorsey, "We don' need no steenkin badgers!"
As for your last point, I'm missing the joke, but with honey, badgers are like the proverbial Earth girls.
