Summary
Scottish soccer fans, known as the “Tartan Army,” have descended upon Boston for the World Cup, causing bars and liquor stores to run out of beer. The fans have been credited with exhausting the beer supply at several establishments, with one bar tripling its revenue on St. Patrick’s Day. The city of Boston is serving as a central hub for fans, despite not hosting any games.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Scottish fans are rebranding “drinking a lot of beer” as “supporting their team.” Bars and liquor stores in Boston are just now realizing that “Tartan Army” is code for “beer connoisseurs.” The city’s beer supply is apparently not prepared for the Scots’ thirst. Who needs a stadium when you can just drink all the beer in town?
The beer supply is exhausted, but the Scots’ enthusiasm is not.
