From northern New Jersey, about 20 minutes from the New York border, Muckraker Beermaker has for several years now been quietly crafting what we think are some of the best spontaneously fermented & wild ales this side of the Atlantic. It is a hidden gem of a little brewery in a rural setting…the kind of thing that inspired us to do what we did all those years back on our regular beer hunting expeditions to Belgium.
Owner & brewer Tom Troncone, who for 24 years prior to starting Muckraker was a newspaper journalist (i.e. a “muckraker”), spontaneously ferments about 75% of the beer he makes via coolship. The beer spends about a year in oak, and more times than not is refermented on fresh New Jersey fruit, typically with a fruiting rate of about 6 pounds per gallon of beer.
Recently, Muckraker started brewing “clean” beer to compliment its wild and spontaneous portfolio. “Hazen,” is the inaugural release of Muckraker’s “clean” beer series. It’s a crushable, hazy IPA loaded with oats, and Citra and Mosaic hops. Look for waves of tropical fruit, melon and a bevy of citrus riding over a smoothness that belies its 6.5% abv. Tom first made Hazen about five years ago for the wedding of his friends Josh and Angie Hazen, so the beer basically named itself. Since then, it’s been Tom’s staple IPA recipe.
