3 Next-Level BOILERMAKER Combos

Nothing wrong with a bourbon and a Bud, but to take your beer-and-shot combo to Flavortown, give these matchups a go.

1 ISLAY SCOTCH + IPA

For those who love big flavors, this smoky and bitter mash-up can be a revelation. Laphroaig and Racer 5 is a good place to start.

2 JAMESON + GUINNESS

Yes, this combo makes geographic sense. And there’s just something about the sweetness of a Jameson and the creaminess of a Guinness that, when taken together, is sublime.

3 AQUAVIT + PILSNER

A clean and lively pairing that will transport you to spring in Scandinavia if you have enough of them.
