Some of you may remember the song "Stranded in Iowa", well that is a bit how I am feeling this evening. I'm in Freeport Illinois tonight and I am a beerguy without beer! There is no place in this town that has a decent beer selection, let alone a decent food menu.
I am very disappointed in Freeport. They claim to have been settled by German immigrants. To celebrate that heritage the are " The Pretzel City" and the high school team is called the Pretzels. To go even further there is a story that the high school team was to actually called the "Beermasters" have no proof of this but this would fit with the German heritage.
Needless to say if a town is founded by German immigrants and they take pride in their German heritage this would lead one to believe that there would be BEER here, but alas no beer. I am sure that there have been numerous breweries in Freeport and at times there should have been a few decent beer bars. Currently there are neither!
My big night out was to Applebee's for dinner and a couple of Sam Adams, nothing special. Well can't always have a worthy beer bar in every town I go to, but I don't expect to have no options.

Eilert's Tee Box and Cocktail has over 60 different beers to choose from. The food menu is not the most diverse but they have the best selection in town.
