Really hard to come up with 10 because 2012 has been a banner year for new beers, but off the top of my head and in no particular order, except for #1:

1. Heady Topper
2. Surly Abrasive
3. Surly Furious
4. Surly Darkness
5. RR Pliny the Elder
6. Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel stout
7. RR Supplication
8. LM Timber Beast
9. Firestone Walker Double Jack
10. Ommegang Three Philosophers

Dont have any to add to this list.

However, I ddi try Delirium Tremens based on this boards recs, and i was a little dissapointed given the hype. Dont get me wrong, its good beer. But its price it writing checks its body cant cash

they've got really solid core offerings.

I can't say I've tried any of their special releases or seasonals yet. Yule Shoot Your Eye Out is in my fridge though.
