Hands down the best wings you will ever have! Make sure to go with their house made dry rub! Beer is delicious as well!

Went here after the recommendation of a safety patroller at Eldora raved about their wings. To say the least, I was not disappointed. The place is super cool, and has that down to earth CO feeling, with an excellent selection of great house brewed craft beers. They have ample seating, multiple levels of a really cool building, but the headliner here is the barbecue. I've been to the heart of Texas, in the mountains of North Carolina, and all over the Midwest and Kansas and this place by far had the best brisket I've ever had and true to the recommendation the dry rub wings were incredible! Can't forget to mention the staff! Super friendly, and on top of everything! What a great surprise! Love this place. Hope I can order their barbecue sauces read more

We stopped through Busey Brews for lunch after a morning of skiing at Eldora. The weather was decent so we took advantage of sitting on the back patio. Solid beer selection (bottles and draft) and friendly staff. Hungry for a hearty meal after skiing all morning, we ordered the brisket royale with a side of mac and cheese. That being said, I didn't feel like there were many less hearty or vegetarian options on the menu. Our food arrived and it was indeed hearty! The bread was crispy and fresh and the meat was well seasoned with sauce and veggies. I would have liked to see the brisket a little more soft and moist. I was not at all impressed with the mac and cheese which seemed to be buttered pasta with cheese on top. The BBQ sauce was AWESOME- thick and flavorful. I didn't see if you could buy bottles to go, but next time I'm in town I will see if that's an option! read more

OK. When you read "the best wings ever," you roll your eyes. We bit and tried them. The bourbon bacon wings...MIGHT...be the best I have ever had. Seriously. Worth the trip. Leroy was a great bartender, good vibe overall, they were playing best guitarists ever channel for tunes, and the Everybody Loves Rye-mond was a fantastic IPA. We will be back now that I know the town exists and this place exists. Oh, they are building a fantastic looking patio for the summer too. Go to this place. read more

This is one of the best bars I've been to. First off, the commander cow is the best milk stout I've ever had - not too sweet but. I've whiskey flavor. We ordered two extra bottles to go since we live out of state. Second, the food is much better than we expected. I had the tofu sandwich (I'm vegetarian), which was heavy for me but had excellent flavor. Good Cole slaw and cheddar soup as well. The outdoor seating is very innovative with solar panels and heating with screens. Great service. Easy five star rating for me! read more

Out from Buffalo, NY -- birthplace of the chicken wing. Ordered dry rub smoked wings with bourbon-bacon for dipping. They were so far-and-away the best wings we've ever eaten that we came back at the end of our Nederland visit and ordered another 2 dozen to go. Also had top/shelf creamy/crunchy Mac-n-cheese side and the Wheat Your Whistle...partner claimed it "doesn't taste like beer"...the ultimate compliment coming from her. The staff was attentive and gregarious. Busey Brews is worth every Mike of the canyon run to get here. read more

Great food, good beer, but TERRIBLE (lack of) service! 20 minutes of struggling before I could even get a beer! I've enjoyed previous visits here, so this time I came to experience the long-awaited new patio room overlooking the creek! Great food, good brews (though even the Pilsner was a bit over-hopped). I enjoyed a very good Prime Rib Dip sandwich with great au jus. The pork green chili "soup" is also excellent. Sadly, the new enclosed patio extension was a disappointment. Nice views, but seating was very reminiscent of crowed large-airport eat-'n-run bars & stools. If you are heading up to the mountains to get away from the hectic crowded city life, this is not the place. HOWEVER, the menu ordering process is the worst I have ever experienced! The required covid-style QR code ordering system requires you to have and use your cell phone for ordering. This, in turn, requires you to MANUALLY and tediously enter all your credit card information BEFORE ORDERING, something that modern credit card scanners available at most restaurants do much more quickly, accurately and easily than having the customer tediously type in all the information, only to get a non-specific error! Isn't that what all the magnetic strips and chip-readers are intended to simplify? Something that most restaurant wait-staff are readily equipped to do? When I complained, the server said that she could do it, but then she'd have to actually scan my card. Rather than put her through all that trouble, and since I'd already spent so much of my own leisure time entering in my order information, I continued the tedious process on my cell phone. When the server brought me my finally-ordered beer, she commented about the beer being my reward for all my hard work ordering! Sigh, thank you very much for my "reward!" And the audacity of charging a default 20% tip for doing half the work myself only added to the insult! So, if you want a good beer and some good food in the mountains, you can get it here. But don't expect to escape the impersonal "service" and shoulder-to-shoulder fast-food crowding. read more

Went on a little drive and ended up in this little town. Was looking for something for lunch and decided to try this smokehouse / brewery. Busey Brews is a cool little place located in a neat little town in the mountains about 30 min from Boulder. All of the meat is smoked daily and the beer is brewed on-site. The burnt end sandwich was really good, full of flavor. The peppers and onions made it! The Mac & Cheese was ok, I like a little more cheese. The prime rib was good but I'm not usually a fan. My girlfriend really liked the sandwich. The garlic mashed potatoes were great, lots of garlic. The service was great. People stopped to check on us often and made sure we didn't need anything. The server was happy to give recommendations. I'd highly recommend giving Busey Brews a try if you're in the area. I hope to revisit the town and I would definitely eat at Busey again. read more

Was visiting for the weekend and stayed in town, stopped for the wings since people had great things to say and honestly? Some of the best wings I've ever had. Great service, Josh was super friendly and welcoming. There's a lot of passion behind the employees there and you can feel the overall good vibe. Beer is good too! The space is super cozy - especially when being blanketed with snow! read more

Busey Brews - Wings! - Brewpubs Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

Not a lot of places are open in Nederland past 8 pm on Fridays so we decided to try Busey Brew (mainly because they have a nice outdoor space) to have a drink and some food. We didn't have high expectations but it was a bit of a disappointment as they were out of basically everything (beer, food) and for some reason our paper menus didn't match what our server had in his app so he couldn't order a lot of things. I also think a place that has "brews" in their name should have more choices for appetizers and finger food but, as you can see, the selection is very poor. Nachos were of a very poor quality with some nacho cheese and shredded cheese that wasn't even melted (I know it's a thing for some places like sports venues but I don't know a single person who would like that at a sit down place). Their beet salad was edible because I was pretty hungry but it was basically a few pieces of greens, cheese (not a fan) and some beets (could elevate it so much just by grilling or baking beets but they were definitely boiled), dressing was super basic and with no flavor at all. Pro: everyone liked the beer they got plus the outdoor space was nice. read more

For real...stop reading reviews and just go here. Now. You won't regret it. The staff is friendly, the servers are on their game, and the food is phenomenal. Our server, Kylie, was one of the most polite, informative, and genuinely kind servers I've had in a long time. My table ordered the Ribs, the Brisket, and the Ned's dry rub wings. All of them were AMAZING. The Mac and Cheese and Corn Bread were also to die for. Coming from a Kansas City native, a Dallas native , We know BBQ, and this place has definitely got it. The local brews were delicious as well. read more

All around yum! Let me start with the beer. Winner winner das Berliner...light fruity delicious just how a summer beer should be. I hate the name...sorry...I'm a blackjack dealer...can you even imagine how many times I've heard winner winner chicken dinner? Shoot me now! But the beer is so good I'll let it slide. My friend had some dark, coffee chocolatey beer that was so good too... probably had a great name that I've forgotten. This is during covid so..my perception of that was it wasn't great. We were sat inside less than six feet from another table, shared menu, shared barbecue sauce, just didn't feel great. The servers were all wearing masks so that was good. Anyhow the food, I ordered a barbecue platter with brisket and a hot link. You get two (!) Sides so I got green chili and coleslaw. So the green chili...I'm told it's made in house and it really tastes like it. I've lived in Colorado for just over a year and this was by far the best I've had. Lots of pork and hot peppers...it was so so good! The brisket was crispy, black on the outside and tender flavorful in the inside. Perfect! And there was a huge pile of it too! The hot link was HOT and also delicious. Tasted great with the coleslaw.which helped tame it for me. Super cute place, good service, great food/beer. Don't take the covid comments as a discouragement to go I would go back tomorrow if I could. Super yummolicous! read more

Wonderful people, amazing meal, and an all around a necessary stop if you're in the area! Despite how late in the evening (around closing) my group came in the evening, the host was super kind and let us sit outside and order food. And order food we did!! Ribs, pulled pork, sides galore, and BBQ TOFU FOR a mostly vegetarian like me, all for super reasonable prices! I had the Veggie Royale: charred, deeply grilled tofu and veg doused in sauce on a roll. YUM. Our server was ready with takeout boxes, but we demolished the meal so no need. Oh dear Busey Brews you've made the end to my Colorado trip absolutely perfect. Side-wise would highly recommend the corn bread and garlic mashers. The mac and cheese was gooey and good, but not stand out in my opinion. My group also had the nashville hot chicken. It was spicy, but not too hot and sopped up with chewy white bread. Did I mention the beer? They've got a fantastic and tasty selection. What a wonderful pair: BBQ and beer. Busey Brews lives up to the many many reviews online. I hope to be back! read more

Great, outstanding service and staff! Let's say this upfront because there is no mistake about it. The outside patio is wonderful. I can't tell you how many times I've seen it from the road but plans even quite made it over here. Now, I had my chance to see how good this place really was and if the food was as good as the view or as cool as the patio. The ribs caught my eye, the waiter then recommended it, so it was a no brainer. The ribs were probably some of the best I've had. Just how perfectly they were cooked, how much meat were on the bones, they'd be hard to beat anywhere. Juiciness was key! As a side note: all three sauces were fantastic. Sometimes I struggle to find even one I like and here I was conflicted on which one I wanted to use most. The bummer part were the sides. I felt both were mediocre - the pork green chile and the mac and cheese. The former lacked flavor, the latter was dry and blah. I did ask for a few samples of their beer - Cerveza mi Face-ah, Groomer IPA and Hambone IPA. I will say that all three were absolutely fantastic beers and it caught be off guard as I was hoping that at least one was decent. It's great to know this place serves such good beer. I'm happy I decided to go with one because I would have really missed out if I hadn't. read more

What a gem!! It was a bit of a wait because there isn't a ton of space for seating but I will tell you this it is worth it! I would recommend going on a hike first so you are extra thirsty and hungry the smoked wings were fantastic and the brews were on point! Great for any group of people read more

This is the second time I've been here, and the food was very good. Although the rack of ribs I had were a bit tough and bbq sauce had way too much pepper in it. There is absolutely no reason you need to put that much pepper on anything . If someone wants to put that much pepper on something and let them do it after the fact when the food is on their table I'm sure there's plenty of people out there they like pepper, but there are some of us who absolutely can't stand it. not everything has to be spicy hot either. I understand that restaurants make things spicy to get people to buy more beer and other beverages to enhance revenue. The brisket and the pork were excellent. The potato salad, and the coleslaw were great also.. if you find yourself in Nederland, I recommend this restaurant. read more

Stopped here after a hike for some beer and appetizers. The outside patio is nice. It took 45 minutes to get an order of nachos and the place was not busy at all. The nachos were nothing to write home about. Plain chips covered in a little bit of queso and unmelted cheddar cheese sprinkled on top??? We added chicken for an extra charge and there were about six small chunks of chicken on the entire order. $38 for 2 beers and an order of nachos. The staff is nice. Not sure if we will give this place another shot or not. read more

We've been in Colorado for over a year and a half and this is the first time we've had amazing BBQ here. What a gem! First off Nederland is just a cute, kitchy town and we had a few breweries to choose from but when we heard this was a smokehouse we decided on this one. There's free parking right across the street from the restaurant and plenty of patio space where dogs are welcome! Inside is so beautiful and warm. We were sat right away and the ordering was easy via their QR code system. Our beers and food came out super quick. The brisket was tender and juicy, exactly how brisket should be. The corn bread was sweet and soft. I normally judge a more fancy mac as I'm very much a shells and cheese girl but this mac was creamy and cheesy! The pork chili had great flavor and big chunks of pork in it. They make their own BBQ sauce and had a few different flavors on the table. my personal favorite was the Virginian BBQ sauce. We also tried out their Kolsch-al Distancing Ale & and a Saison, both were great. This place is definitely worth the stop! read more

Busey Brews - BBQ plate with Brisket, Mac & Cheese, Pork Chili and Cornbread - Brewpubs Near Me - Nederland, Colorado

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I never got my food. I understand that at peak hours things take some time but after an hour and a half of waiting for two sliders I just told the waiter to cancel my order and I left. The friend I was with submitted his order maybe 3 minutes before me and got his food within a half hour and then I didn't get mine at all. I don't know if it's an issue with their online ordering system, but after seeing other people who ordered way after me getting food I just gave up. It sucks because I wanted to try the food. So just go prepared to wait a while for food read more

You will think the drive up is why to come here, yet you will quickly realize that the food is WHY you make the drive. Wings that are juicy and fall off the bone, St Louis ribs that are meaty and tender, brisket sandwiches that pack more delectable meat than you could ever imagine on a hoagie roll. And the in-house brews offer a wide of options that are all delicious. And a true rib house vibe indoors, with a patio for warm and sunny days. Make the drive; you will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped here after a hike because of the reviews we had seen. We split a brisket sandwich with an extra side of coleslaw. It was delicious!

We stopped in on our Peak-to-Peak drive back to Estes Park and really liked it. Just had a couple of drinks and chips and salsa but loved the venue. Since it was our first time through town, we had one drink left and walked around, but came back for one more round when we didn't see anything as interesting. Talked to Kyle, the owner, who was a great guy. Working with solar on the back upper patio with plans for more. Stop by and check it out. read more

We had a fairly large group and no reservations. No problem, found some tables outside on a beautiful 4th of July. Persons in our group ordered a variety of items, and everyone was happy with their choice. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, and both were great. Got some vinegar BBQ sauce for dipping and it was delicious. Service was good in spite of the crowd (it was busy). We enjoyed the outdoors ambiance. read more

And after many years of searching, I have found the best wings in Colorado. Outstanding! These smoked wings literally fall off of the bone. I opted for the dry rub with the side of the hottest sauce and the sauce was delicious! I should have ordered more than 6. Now to the beer...what an awesome selection! I went back and fourth between the pumpkin and the brown ale. I sat at the bar and the service was also great. There are both indoor and outdoor seats, both tables and at the bar. The place was super clean and cared for. I can't wait to make the trip back for more WINGS! read more

Chicken was excellent. Cornbread was excellent. Brisket was dry and flavorless. Macaroni was flavorless. BBQ sauce tasted sour. QR codes instead of a physical menu was annoying. I really hope the waitresses get paid in more than tips because it's hard to tip 20% when you have to get up to get utensils, napkins, condiments or anything else you need during the course of your meal. Walking to my table with my food doesn't warrant a 20% tip; if I have to retrieve everything else for my table myself then it wouldn't be much more to pick up trays of food either. Just my .02 read more

No idea how this place has 5 stars. The food was 3/10 at best. Their homemade BBQ sauces were basically just tomato sauces with spices. My brisket sandwich was so dry. The nachos were tortilla chips with queso that came out cold and soggy. The food (which came out cold and soggy) also took 50 minutes to come out and it was even the peak hour. Our food only came out after I had to ask a worker why the table next to us who ordered 30 minutes after us had gotten their food. Suspect. The ambiance was not good. There new deck needs some work. Uncomfortable hot out there when the sun comes out. Their musician is too loud we couldn't hear each other speak. Go somewhere else. read more

Second time coming to Busey it was just as good as the first. The entire staff was warm, we had waiter by the name of Aidan who was very knowledgeable with great suggestions. Great music playing from Otis Redding to Zach Bryan. Last but not least don't forget to checkout with a couple bottles of their very own BBQ sauce, it is the essence of life. read more

We happened upon Busey's while out for a mountain drive on a beautiful day. A quick google search sent us there, so why not? The place was packed at 2p...the host was gracious and attentive and made sure we knew we'd be seated as soon as possible. We went to the bar where the beer tender went over the brew menu after asking what we enjoyed...by then a table was cleared and our server showed up promptly. We shared the brisket and extra sides (mac and cheese is over the top amazing) and still had a nice to-go box to take home. The service, beer, atmosphere and food were some of the best we've had in Colorado after many years living here. Don't wait...take the drive to Nederland! You'll be glad you did. read more
