Now, San Francisco's 21st Amendment Brewery is getting ready to release — on August 29 — an India Red Ale inspired by Kellogg's Pop-Tarts, and it's called Toaster Pastry.

What's more, not only does the brew bring breakfast beers to a new level, but because the space was once a Kellogg's plant that manufactured Frosted Flakes and Pop-Tarts, Toaster Pastry will also honor the history of its home.

Toaster Pastry will be 7.6 alcohol by volume and will be available in 19.2-ounce cans during the fall. We don't know much more about the Pop-Tart-inspired beer, but given that there are so many different Pop-Tart flavors, there's lots of room for expansion for the brewery as well.

It's not clear whether this boozy celebration of the Pop-Tart is indeed a collaboration with Kellogg, or if the smell of Pop-Tarts past made this idea impossible for the brewers to ignore.
