In a Nutshell: Scottish Fans Drinking Beer Like It's the World Cup

The World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico is already making its presence felt, not just in stadiums but in local establishments too. Boston, one of America's largest cities, is experiencing a shortage of the popular Scottish beer, Tennent's, following the arrival of thousands of Scottish fans for their national team's matches. Bar owners and managers admit that demand has far exceeded all expectations. Oran McGonagle, manager of a local pub, revealed that he received 75 kegs of the Scottish lager over the weekend, with most of it already depleted.

"We knew what was coming and were prepared, as we expected Scottish fans to gather here due to its proximity to the fan zone. We stocked up significantly, and right now, we're probably the only bar in the city that still has Scottish beer," McGonagle explained.

Robert Fusiek, the events manager for the fan centers around the city, joked that the Scots' main mission seems to be to drink all available beer supplies in Boston. The prevailing sentiment is that Scottish fans are enthusiastic, generous, appreciative… but most of all, thirsty. "The solution is simple – we need even more beer," he commented with a smile. Despite the extra workload for staff and the constant need for new deliveries, the city's establishments are happily welcoming the Scottish supporters.
