IHOP has really thrown us for a loop this year so far. First, changing their name to IHOB (and back again), and now they’ve decided to make their very own beer? Where is all this coming from IHOP?
For any diehard pancake AND beer fan — your wish has come true. IHOP is now releasing an exclusive limited edition Pumpkin Pancake American Stout, or as they call it, IHOPS. Very punny.
Their slogan is “pancakin’ beer” and that just says it all. The pancake house teamed up with Keegan Ales to deliver this “innovative new flavor” which is supposed to give us the “warm and fuzzy feeling of pancakes in time for fall”, according to their website.

The beer supposedly tastes like a perfect combination of pancakes, maple syrup, pumpkins and other ingredients at a Sunday morning breakfast. This just screams fall, doesn’t it? It’s literally screaming at you, with a jug of maple syrup in hand.
Unfortunately, (or maybe not unfortunately? Who’s to be sure) the beer is not set to be sold at any restaurants. The only place you can pick it up is at select bars and beer festivals in the tri-state area.
So, there you have it. IHOP is at it again with something truly alarming. I’m not sure if I can handle what’s to come next. For now, let’s see if this pancake beer stands up to par. If not, maybe we’ll just have to chase it down with some maple syrup.
