Business and a Beer: An Entrepreneur RoundtableFood, brew and wisdom: We assembled a diverse group of entrepreneurs to talk about recipes for success.

Two bankers, the creator of an electric airplane and a granola-maker walk into a bar … No, it's not a joke. These innovators and financiers were all part of the brain trust that gathered for狗万官方's firstBusiness & a Beer event, held March 10 at the bustling Euclid Hall Bar & Kitchen in downtown Denver.

We put a diverse group of entrepreneurs around a table, gave them good food and great beer and asked them to tell their stories, share their challenges and offer their advice. What transpired was a rich montage of insight from all levels of the entrepreneurial field: people who are just beginning to find their ways, seasoned veterans who have been there and done that and financial backers who have seen it all--and who know what's going to fly and what's going to fail.
