The Tartan Army Has Drank Multiple Bars In Boston Completely Dry With Some Bar Owners Saying They Are Doing TRIPLE The Numbers They Do On Saint Patrick's Day

The Tartan Army and the city of Boston...a match made in heaven. Who'd have thunk that the round-faced, falstaffian, endomorphs of Scotland would take so kindly to a city that prides its self on drinking beer? The answer? Everyone. It makes too much sense. The Scottish people coming to Boston is like when two long lost siblings finally reunite. There's an unspoken bond. A familial familiarity that requires no spoken word to fortify their ancestral kinship. In other words...it just makes sense. 

I, like Mr. Portnoy, have found myself with a (milder) case of World Cup fever ever since videos of the Tartan army started circulating online. I mean who wouldn't? Look at these lunatics...

And as far as the beer drinking goes? It's out of control. From The Post...

Source - Scottish soccer fans have managed to do what two centuries of St. Patrick’s Day parades could not: Drink Boston dry.

The World Cup tourists managed to empty bars and liquor stores over the weekend after celebrating their team’s first group stage victory at Gillette Stadium.

The “Tartan Army” took over Boston’s downtown area on Saturday following Scotland’s 1-0 win over Haiti, with Sam Adams revealing that its Boston Taproom ran out of its famous Boston Lager.

From Thursday to Sunday, Scotland fans effectively drank four times as much Boston Lager as the Taproom normally sells in a four-day holiday stretch, Sam Adams told NBC News, with the company forced to schedule an emergency delivery to keep up.

And the Sam Adams Boston Taproom wasn’t the only bar struggling to keep up with the demand of the thirsty soccer fans.

Noelle Somers, chief operating officer at Hennessy’s Bar, said the sales from the weekend were three times as much as the city’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities.

“We’ve been here for over 30 years, and we’ve never seen anything like it,” she told the Boston Globe.

“We tripled St. Patrick’s Day.”

Peter Zettel, a clerk at Federal Wine & Spirits in Boston’s Financial District, echoed the boom in business and the recalled how the fans even booed one patron who opted to buy water rather than booze.

Bars are literally running out all over the city…

And there is no end in sight. What's not to love about these people? Scotland plays Morocco next at Gillette Stadium on Friday. If you are in the area I highly suggest you go. It's gotta be an all time experience. Anywho, I'm rooting for Scotland and I hope you are too. That's it for this one. Thanks for reading!
