History
The shot glass lifts at the end of the beer, releasing the whiskey as a chaser. Modern Boiler Makers often feature complementary beer and whiskey pairings.
The origin of this drink is unknown, but Gary Regan, in his book The Joy of Mixology, attributes it to steelworkers in western Pennsylvania.
