What a weekend! From the first tee shot to the final nervy putts, this Ryder Cup had everything. For us, it felt extra special watching Rory McIlroy step up and Shane Lowry sink that unforgettable, match-clinching putt that retained the Ryder Cup for Europe. It’s the bromance we didn’t know we needed just when we needed it most from two leaders who kept the board, well… very blue indeed.

Blue Jumper IPA: The Taste of a Clutch Win

When the scoreboard lights up in Europe’s colour, this is the beer that fits the moment. It’s our hop-forward nod to the clutch streak — bright citrus and pine on the nose, a clean malt backbone, and a finish that snaps like a well-struck iron into a tucked Sunday pin.

Here are a few Ryder Cup-inspired tasting notes to mark the occasion:

• The First Roar (Aroma): Expect a rush of citrus, stone fruit, and a lick of pine — that opening surge of optimism when blue starts creeping across the board and you glance at your buddies like, “We’re on here.”

• Steady Hands (Malt Backbone): Light biscuit and gentle sweetness provide balance — a calm centre when the pressure ratchets up. Think tidy lag putting and smart course management.

• New York Home Crowd (Bitterness): A crisp, assertive bitterness in the finish — nothing as harsh as the home supporters from the American galleries, but just enough bite to keep you honest. 

• Match-Clinching Putt (Finish): That final snap of hop character lands clean, decisive, and oh-so-satisfying. The exact flavour of a Shane Lowry putt to retain the Ryder Cup for Europe.

So, when the scoreboard lights up in Europe’s colour, reach for Blue Jumper IPA. Savour the sharp citrus—the flavor of that opening roar. Embrace the clean malt balance that reminds you of steady, cool-headed composure under the fiercest pressure. And finally, let that playfully assertive bitterness remind you of the essential truth of every Ryder Cup win: we kept our heads, we kept our nerve, and we kept the board the colour we love. This is more than a beer; it’s the taste of a match-clinching victory.
