A draught Michelob and shot of J&B in a 12 oz mug. That's the way to do it.

Re: The most important part of the boilermaker?
One more question. Is the beer chase a full beer or just like 3 oz. in a small glass? Around here a beer back is just a small one, and as smatter said around here it's a full shot of whiskey dropped into a mostly full glass of beer, then chugged. That's quite a bit different than doing a shot and then just sipping a little beer as a chase.KissMyPabst wrote:Haha, I hear y'all. And i'm not too proud to explain my original intent. Here, in a bar, a boilermaker is a straight shot o whiskey chased with a beer. When i'm home, it's very clearly a large swig of bourbon on the rocks with a beer back. So I guess what I was wondering (not positive though because i was wasted when i first posted) is if you're enjoying a shot of whiskey and a beer, would you rather have a decent whiskey and a cheap beer, or a cheap whiskey and a decent beer? Does that make more sense?
Bourbon is my blood.

Re: The most important part of the boilermaker?
I remember a boilermaker (@1970/SoCal) as being a shot of well-whiskey and a short, @9oz draft on the side. Guys would shoot the shot and then suck down the 9oz'er in one swig. If you wanted it stacked (the shot dropped into @9oz of beer in a 12oz glass), you asked for your boilermaker 'wet'.Resident Asshole wrote:One more question.

Re: The most important part of the boilermaker?
Speaking for myself, a boilermaker is a shot of whiskey ordered along with a full-size beer (usually a 12oz bottle or can). Now, as drunkards, we needn't be "chasing" our shots with anything. I just like having a beer at my leisure after I take a shot.

Around here, a BoilerMaker is a shot of whiskey dropped into a mug of beer and chuggalugged. That being the case, cheap stuff all around.

Re: The most important part of the boilermaker?
I was thinking that too, Chilidawg, but if you have to do one before the other, I'd rather do good whiskey, then put the fire out with cheap beer.
Of course, the MOST important part of a boilermaker is the drinking.
