Scottish soccer fans have been having a blast in Boston over the past week, with the “Tartan Army” taking over restaurants and pubs, taking a victory lap of the city after their 1-0 win over Haiti on Saturday and marching to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park on Sunday. They’ve also been drinkin g a lot of beer. So much so that some Boston bars ran out. Sam Adams says its Boston Taproom ran out of Samuel Adams Boston Lager over the weekend because Scottish soccer fans drank them dry. From Thursday to Sunday, it said the Tartan Army drank four times as much Boston Lager as it normally sells during a typical four-day holiday stretch like the Fourth of July. The company had to schedule an emergency delivery on Saturday morning just to keep up. “We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Billy DeCain of the Sam Adams Boston Taproom. And they aren’t the only ones running dry. Scottish fans have a beer at South Station before a 2026 FIFA World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti on June 13, 2026. (Photo by Craig F.

We ran out of everything,” Paul Morris of The White Bull Tavern added. “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. “We’ve been here for over 30 years, and we’ve never seen anything like it,” said Noelle Somers, Hennessy’s chief operating officer. Federal Wine Spirits in the Financial District told the Globe it sold out of Budweiser and Corona on Saturday and the door on one of its refrigerators broke from being opened and closed so many times. The Dubliner has also been hopping. “We had our biggest week ever last week,” Oran McGonagle of The Dubliner said. “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.” Hopefully, the bars are stocking up. Scotland is next scheduled to play Morocco at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, at 6 p.m. ET Friday. ...read more read less
