Nederland is a cool mountain and Busey's is an institution here in Ned, and it's easy to see why! The creekside location and Mountain View's are spectacular. I would love to come back during the winter when the fire pits are roaring. Service is so friendly and chill, that you'll want to stay for hours. Really nice craft beer selection and a good menu that's built around some pretty tasty barbecue! I loved that I could add giardiniera to my sandwich . . . Perfection! This is a great place to drink good beer and relax in the mountains. Highly recommend!

I've been to Busey Brews multiple times since 2024 and I've always left satisfied. I've given a…read morecouple of 5-star reviews on Yelp but my experience last night was sub-par. To note, I've only ever been here for lunch, never dinner until last night. We drove over from Boulder to have kombucha and awesome BBQ, like we have in the past. When we arrived for dinner, there was a DJ and trivia going on inside, so we decided to sit outside on the front porch and it was beautiful out! Perfect weather. Our first disappointment started with the service. One thing I enjoy about going out is being waited on and customer service but the hostess said I had to scan the QR code and order my own food and pay the bill from my phone, the server just brings out the items as they're ordered. I've enjoyed interacting with staff and Kyle in the past and I'm very social, so I was not happy about missing out on the customer service experience. We ordered the kombucha, which hasn't changed and was delicious as always. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with a side of cole slaw and cornbread and my husband ordered the Smoked Beef Dip with a side of cole slaw. Both of our sandwiches were lacking meat, it was mostly bread. And my sandwich was very dry; I added sauce but the sauce outside on our table was very soupy (not sure if that's normal or if the consistency changed from the temperature outside). After tax and tip for 2 kombuchas and 2 sandwiches, our bill was $67. Overall, I was really disappointed by my dinner experience. Total bummer.

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.

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!
