I also like Amberbock. Very good considering how cheap and easy it is to find. I was bummed recently as I think my local Safeway (grocery store) stopped stocking it.
Oh well, I can always drink something better.

For a mass produced beer it's pretty good, but it's not even in the ballpark of the top beers.
Its an old standby for me. This and Shiner bock. Since I'm in texas at least one of the two will be around in any bar/resturant/grill I happen to walk in. Of course, I prefer something a little more different and unique if I can get my hands on it.
I'm going to have to agree with Tim on this one. For mass produced it is good.
Factory beer, yeah.
The one time I tried Amberbock I didn't care for it. I felt that it was a poor imitation of Shiner Bock, which I only rarely get to drink since I'm in Oregon. On the other hand, my son did bring be back two cases of Shiner Bock from a recent trip to Texas...
amberbock is the shizz however i like guiness more as far as dark beers are concerned

You're in Oregon screwing around with Shiner Bock!? If I were in your shoes, I'd be wollowing in Henry Weinharts Dark bliss for the rest of my life. When I lived up that way, I seldom drank anything else. What a great beer.
Actually my favorite Henry's brew is their Belgian Wheat...
I don't think we even can here in Denmark. Mine are imported by a friend who works near the border. They're 23.66 including deposit
+1, well said.
I prefer Shiner over Amber Bock but it is drinkable.
More factory beer...you do know Oregon is home to many of the US's finest brewers, don't you? From Deschuttes to Bridgeport to Widmer to Hair of the Dog...
(my top Oregon beer? Black Butte Porter, from Deschuttes).
ON EDIT:
Hmm, this comes off stronger than I'd intended. Let's just say Oregon is to beer as Hawaii is to fruit & seafood--hard to go wrong there, and I miss the great, great beers of OR.
I didn't say that one was my favorite beer, just may favorite Henry's...
Actually, my favorite beers that I can readily get locally are Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen and a local microbrew called Coyote Peak Wheat.
