boilermakers
Shot dropped in
A boilermaker is a worker who makes or repairs boilers and other heavy metal equipment—historically demanding, dangerous industrial work.
In drinking, a boilermaker is a shot of whiskey served with or dropped into a glass of beer: We ordered boilermakers at the dive bar.
The drink's name suggests the rough-and-ready workers who favored it.
