Scottish soccer fans have taken over Boston, celebrating their team’s 1-0 win over Haiti on Saturday. The “Tartan Army” has been marching through the city, visiting restaurants and pubs, and attending a Red Sox game at Fenway Park on Sunday.

However, their celebrations have also led to a shortage of beer in some Boston bars. Sam Adams’ Boston Taproom ran out of Samuel Adams Boston Lager over the weekend, with the Tartan Army drinking four times as much as the taproom normally sells during a typical four-day holiday stretch.

Bars Running Dry

The White Bull Tavern also ran out of beer, with Scottish fan Dave Orr saying, “The Scottish fans just drank the place dry and all they had was Bud Light.” Paul Morris of The White Bull Tavern added, “Pretty much everything. We ran out of everything. Tennent’s being number one. The fans have been unbelievable. They’re great — fun, drinking, partying — having a great time.”

Hennessy’s Bar in downtown Boston told The Boston Globe that it tripled its St. Patrick’s Day sales and sold out of beer altogether on Sunday night. Federal Wine & Spirits in the Financial District also sold out of Budweiser and Corona on Saturday.

The Dubliner has also been busy, with Oran McGonagle saying, “We had our biggest week ever last week. I managed to plan ahead and get an extra delivery last Saturday, and I was told yesterday the distributor has run out too. He’s getting his today and the rest of the city is getting theirs tomorrow.”

Scotland is next scheduled to play Morocco at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, at 6 p.m. ET Friday. Hopefully, the bars are stocking up for the next wave of celebrations.
