OK, had to chime in on this. a shot dropped into a beer is a boilermaker. See, steam boilers are double containers - the larger container holds the fire and the smaller one inside it holds the steam. Like a shot glass inside a beer glass.
Then again, two of my degrees are from Purdue, home of the boilermakers. The first football team (1891) was reputed to have workers from the local Monon rail shops on the front line. Literal boiler makers.
The statue outside the stadium commemorates this - the jersey's not part of the statue, but it's usually wearing one.
Method of Madness:
I've heard both "boilermaker" and "depth charge" to describe a shot inside a beer.

My housemate has the most delicious instant coffee I have ever tasted but it's nescafe :(

If it's delicious why is it bad? Sometimes you gotta tell your inner snob to be quiet :roll:
