We've Never Seen Anything Like It': Boston Scrambles to Get More Beer as Scottish World Cup Tourists Drink It Dry

Boston faced an unprecedented beer crunch as Scottish World Cup fans descended for the Scotland–Haiti match, which Scotland won 1-0. CBS Boston reported bars across the city exhausted supplies, triggering emergency deliveries to keep pace. The surge overwhelmed local supply chains.

Sam Adams Boston Taproom said Scottish supporters drank four times its normal holiday-weekend volume, prompting an emergency shipment of Boston Lager. White Bull Tavern and Hennessy's Bar also ran out, with Hennessy's noting sales three times their St. Patrick's Day level. A liquor store reported a broken refrigerator handle from rapid restocking. Fans plan to return for Friday's World Cup match at Foxboro Stadium against Morocco.
