Boston's pubs are facing an unexpected challenge as thousands of Scottish football fans descend on the city for the World Cup, reportedly causing a significant shortage of beer.
Over 20,000 members of the Tartan Army have travelled to Massachusetts for Scotland's opening two group stage matches.
Beyond the pitch, these enthusiastic supporters have embraced American culture, including a visit to Fenway Park to watch a Boston Red Sox game.
The influx of thirsty fans has led to an unprecedented surge in demand, with numerous establishments across the city reporting dwindling beer supplies.
Noelle Somers, chief operating officer at Henessy’s Bar in central Boston, highlighted the scale of the phenomenon, stating that trade following the Scotland v Haiti match had tripled that of St Patrick’s Day.
