Matt Dettmann didn’t set out to take over a business in the middle of a pandemic. But when you’re an entrepreneur with an eye for opportunity, and serendipity seems to drop one in your lap, you try not to let timing stand in the way.

“A bunch of things happened and kind of came together that made this opportunity possible, and I’m just so glad to be able to do it.”
Dettmann, 51, has been in the Springs since 2009, a year after Trinity opened. He said he’s been a long-time customer at the award-winning brewpub, off Garden of the Gods Road.
