So let me get this straight. 99 Bottles beer store will offer 15 pumpkin beers for $2. Is this level of decadence even legal?

Wait. It's a grab-bag tasting - meaning you can TASTE any 10 pumpkin beers from the 15 lined-up at the Federal Way store.

Still ... there should be a secret codephrase, at least.

Expect beers spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon and all that's nice from Elysian, Laurelwood, Pike Harlot's Harvest, Shipyard Brewing Co. and others.

PUMPKIN PALOOZA TASTING, 5-7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 17, 99 Bottles, 35002 Pacific Hwy. S., Federal Way, $2, 253.838.2558
