Scotland fans have been some of the loudest supporters at the World Cup, and Boston has felt every bit of it during a wild few days in the city.
The Tartan Army waited 28 years for this return, so Saturday’s 1-0 win over Haiti was never going to be celebrated quietly after John McGinn gave Steve Clarke’s side the perfect start.
They have taken over restaurants and pubs, marched through the city and even turned up at Fenway Park, but the scale of the drinking has now become its own story. Several bars have revealed numbers that boggle the American mind, with one Boston venue saying it has never seen anything like it.
Speaking to NBC News, Sam Adams said its Boston Taproom ran out of Samuel Adams Boston Lager over the weekend because Scottish supporters “drank it dry”.
From Thursday to Sunday, the brewery said the Tartan Army drank four times as much Boston Lager as it would normally sell during a typical four-day holiday stretch such as the Fourth of July.
