What has happened to Busey Brews? I recall a fun spot where wait staff would discuss and encourage…read moreyou to try different beers and talk with you about specials, etc. I recall meeting the friendliest staff in Ned. Yesterday we went in for an early dinner, and the host could not have been more rude. Tall guy with the bird on his neck (tat). We wanted to discuss beers and the special. Bird guy said, "what, you can't use the QR code?" Actually, in this day and age, a restaurant that still uses QR codes to order is a sign that they simply want to save money and not employ polite staff. Finally, a pleasant enough woman took our order. Because really their attitude was, "we are doing you a favor by waiting on you". The food and beer was as good as usual but the staff were as rude and unhappy as I've ever seen. And I've worked in the restaurant industry a while. We will be frequenting the pizza place next door from now on and avoiding the unfriendly Busey Brews atmosphere. thank you very much.

Can't say enough great things about Knotted Root. Sure, there are other breweries in town, but the…read morequality of beers here are amazing! I've been coming for years but always see new things. Bartenders are so friendly and if you come when it's slow, are great to talk beer with. They have a large open and colorful taproom that allows dogs! Lots of great beer choices, and they specialize in hoppy IPA's. They also had a Pilsner and my favorite, their Sour Goo series. I loved my Cherry goo and it was a perfect drink after wandering around downtown. Head over here on your visit to Ned and you'll love it! Food trucks and snacks here too.

Casual relaxing atmosphere! Free parking.

Line wrapped around the corner. Everyone waiting said it was the best spot in town. After a little…read morewait, we snagged a table. Luckily, two tops seemed pretty readily available. I want to say it was busy for sure but because it's pizza, there is no actual urgency. The pizzas take as long as they take so give yourself plenty of time. A few things I'd like to take a moment to point out. A.) Pizza needed to be cooked longer. I would have preferred them to cook it so that the cheese all melted. It's not really appetizing when it's not. Maybe another min or two could help but I'm guessing with them being as busy as they were, they may have pulled them early. B.) plates could have been cleaner. Server also asked us more than once if we needed anything else, and I did ask for a glass with ice so I can add it to our warm water that was on the table when we arrived, and I also asked for a straw and never received either. Pretty disappointed in the service. Nice enough young lady but don't ask me if I need anything and then never do it. Twice. It could have been cleaner across the board. Lots of flies and gnats flying around. I waited tables for decades and I always hustled. Clearing, cleaning, greeting a table so you know someone is coming even if you can't take their order yet. I think maybe just the small town and laid back lifestyle could explain it all. On the plus side, I am excited about reheating the pizza for lunch today because it was a little under, it will cook nicely today.

As always, I got on my phone, checked out Yelp and made the call. Based on its location next to water, attentive staff, good beer and great food, I'd say Yelp for the win. We decided to eat inside with wait staff versus ordering our food and drinks at the counter. I don't think there is a wrong choice as you can enjoy the view or solid service. This working brewery has a large selection of beers and a full bar. I went with an IPA and my dining partner had a sour (which our waitress was kind enough to let her sample first). Although it wasn't 4pm, I was allowed to order the fish and chips. It was hot, flavorful and filling for $20. I especially liked the malt vinegar aioli for my fries. My partner had a generous chicken sandwich and tots. The order was hot, tasty and satisfying. The hockey heavy themed brewery was a hit with us. Give it a try if you get to the neighborhood.

I slept about 4 hours the night before to make it early for sunrise. To say that a few tasty beers were what the doctor ordered would be the understatement of the century! None of this matters, of course, to the good folks at Rocky Cut Brewing Company. This is off the main drag of Estes in an unassuming strip plaza. Humble vibes inside, a simple U-shaped bar top with seating all around, a few smaller tables, a community table, and a large patio with mostly picnic table seating. If you're lucky, snag a stool right along the Big Thompson River! Though, I recommend they fix the wooden placeholders for beers, they're leaning on the wrong side of history, we don't want any full glasses of beer reaching an unnecessary demise! Interference IPA * American IPA * 6.7% * 16oz ($7) From their website: "Climbing the Interference Boulder in Rocky Mountain National Park requires strength and power. This Colorado IPA showcases the power of hops with an intense blend forging citrus aromas with a pine forward finish. Featured ingredients: Cascade, El Dorado, Mosaic, Chinook, & Simcoe hops * Recommended adventure: hiking Black Lake, climbing the Twin Owls, skiing upper Hidden Valley." A perfectly apt description. I would summarize this beer just as they did, focusing on hops, citrus, and pine. Absolutely delicious, a memorable IPA in recent memory. I liked it so much I ordered it again and it tasted just as delicious the second time down! They also had a food truck outside, so safe to assume they do this often. Would love to try more of their beers during my next visit. Rock Cut, I see you!
