Busey Brews Smokehouse & Brewery

Overall Rating and is it worth a visit: 8 to 8.25/10 and Yes. Situated right in the heart of downtown Nederland, this is a unique spot that was a brewery first and has added a smokehouse option to it. While the beers may have been the original focus, the barbecue also delivers and making it a great spot to stop after a day hike in the mountains or a winter skiing session at Eldora. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the entire place has a nice laid-back atmosphere, accentuated by being perched right along a river that trickles by as you dine or drink. Solid small town mountain vibes, with steel features, custom wood, ledges, and historic skis and split boards adorning the walls. While it might not be the best barbecue in the state, its atmosphere, ambience, and overall experience

Found this fantastic brewery just driving around today! Service was amazing. Food was incredible. Beer top notch. Plus the heated patio was the cherry on top!!!

Buon Giorno, my name is Christopher. ( Chricenzio ) Italian American chef from New York. I have consulted many bbq restaurants thoroughly the country from New York to Alaska and you guys are top notch. I’m from New Mexico my friend is from Boulder Co, she recommended we try Busey Brews again. We had brisket smoked turkey green chili stew a red chili dish it was a fabulous. my friend doesn’t care for too much salt so the chili was a wee bit salty. But every else was awesome. The smashed potatoes were incredible. The prices were too cheap in my opinion. The service was awesome. The sell a few logo hats, bottle openers etc. so tourist me bought two. And the bill was under a hundred bucks. Should have been 120. The souvenirs were to be paid to a third party vendor via a simple QR code honor s

Overall, amazing place! It’s a great atmosphere with live music and free popcorn!! The food is great, amazing brisket and cornbread, and the wings were incredible. Service loses .5 only because they make you order with a website, which I have never been a fan of, but the waiters were very nice. And the price was great, food to money spent ratio was definitely good. Also had a few drinks, few were good. So summary: • Food - really good, 5 stars • Atmosphere - popcorn alone won me over, 5 stars • Service - really nice, just slightly annoying ordering system, 4.5 stars • Drinks - 5 stars • Price - actually very good! 5 stars

They have a 'Power Hour' (3-4pm, when the kitchen is closed), but you can get bites and cheap excellent brews whilst waiting for the kitchen to open. After this is 'Happy Hour' Mon-Fri (4-6pm)! Chips 'n' Salsa, House smoked wings, House smoked BBQ platter, beers and the Jack Rabbit Hill wines were all excellent. A very beautiful location, vibe, patio, and thankfully they also offered moist towelettes, unlike so many places that offer wings and ribs! Excellent service from the very entertaining Mo. Certainly worth my drive up from Boulder.
