The field of dark elixirs was strong at the Stout Invitational.

It was a close vote at the 2022 New Mexico Brewers Guild Stout Invitational on Saturday, but at the end it was La Cumbre who came out on top. With 29 votes, the longtime Albuquerque heavyweight prevailed over a field of 16 stouts in a blind taste test held over three sessions at Bathtub Row Brewing in Los Alamos.

It was the first full event planned out by new Guild executive director Tess Vidalis, who was all smiles afterwards.

“This was my first through and through event, (and) it went fantastic,” she said. “The energy was amazing. I am so thrilled to share the experience with everyone here, because Bathtub is some of the best hosts I’ve ever had to work with. The community here seems so supportive. It was all around a great event.”

Starr Brothers came in second with 27 votes, followed by Ponderosa with 22 and High and Dry with 19. Here are the final voting totals, with the beer’s number on the tray in paren
