Hard liquor and beer, what could work faster than a Boilermaker?

“Beer before liquor, never been sicker; liquor before beer, you’re in the clear."
That's the saying we all know. A Boilermaker makes it hard to distinguish the difference. However, what we truly don't recommend you doing is using a Triple IPA for the beer part of the boilermaker. It will get you wrecked in no time.
As for suggestions on the type of Whiskey you should use when making a Boilermaker, begin and end with cheap. You see, there's no reason to pour a high grade Whiskey when making the cocktail, as you're just shooting the drink.
