Unga Bunga correctly points out that a true boilermaker is a shot of whiskey (not just any spirits) and a beer. Uncle Cecil gives a good clarification on the boilermaker vs depth charge debate. Basically, the difference is whether you drop the shot into the beer or alternately drink from the shotglass / beer mug. I just had this vision of people sitting at the bar and arduously working their way through all the spirits on the shelf, making up names for each combination they came to.
