As Scotland nears qualification for the World Cup knockout stage, bars in Boston are facing significant beer shortages due to an influx of Scottish fans. During Scotland's two group matches in Foxborough, local bars reported running out of beer, leading to emergency deliveries. One bar alone sold over 4,000 pints and emptied 90 kegs, a figure four times higher than typical sales for a holiday weekend. High prices for stadium beer may be driving fans to seek drinks in local establishments. Owners are advised to prepare for continued support as Scotland's World Cup journey unfolds.
