What is "boilermaker"?
A boilermaker is a type of alcoholic drink that is made by dropping a shot of whiskey into a glass of beer, and is typically consumed as a quick and potent way to enjoy both drinks at once. The drink is believed to have originated in the United States, where it was popular among blue-collar workers and miners. Boilermakers can be made with different types of beer and whiskey, with the choice of drinks often reflecting regional and cultural preferences. Some drinkers prefer to sip the whiskey and chase it with the beer, while others choose to drop the shot directly into the beer and drink it all at once. Boilermakers are often associated with dive bars and working-class establishments.
