The whiskey and beer are both typically, though not necessarily, of American production, with an inexpensive bourbon or a Tennessee whiskey favored for the shot, and a mass-market American lager for the beer.

Execution There are various techniques for consuming a boilermaker: - Classically, the liquor is drunk in one gulp and chased immediately by the beer.
- The two may be mixed by pouring the shot into the beer. Stirring is at the discretion of the drinker.
- The liquor can be poured directly into an open beer can with some beer removed ahead of time.
- A shot glass of the liquor may be dropped into the beer from the surface just before drinking, glass and all - this technique is referred to as a depth charge in some circles.
