They think it's ale over! England fans arrive in Boston to find departing Tartan Army has drunk the city's beer supplies...

By SAM GREENHILL, THE CHIEF REPORTER and NICK PISA, SENIOR REPORTER Published: 00:03, 23 June 2026 | Updated: 00:03, 23 June 2026 England fans have descended on Boston chanting 'we'll drink all your beer' – only to discover thirsty Scotland supporters have left the city almost completely dry. Pubs have already run out of ale after a week of hosting the Tartan Army, with even emergency resupply missions failing to keep pace with demand. As Scottish supporters gradually depart for their next game in Miami, many thousands of England fans are piling into Boston ahead of their second group game tonight against Ghana. In Hennessy's bar, England fans sang: 'Don't take me home... I wanna stay here and drink all your beer.' Supporter Mark Richardson, 29, an insurance underwriter from north London, said: 'Lots of beer has run out but the Scots didn't quite manage to drink it all and there's still enough for a party.' Yet an hour later, the bar closed four hours sooner than advertised after running out of Stella, Heineken, Summer Ale, Blue Moon, Harpoon IPA, Wormtown pale ale, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Tennent's and Boston Lager. A barmaid told the Daily Mail: 'We are getting new supplies in every day but we still run out half way through each night.' North London banker Nick Soutar, 29, said: 'The beer may be running out but there's no shortage of party action. It's been brilliant. We have a reputation for being old enemies but we've been anything but, since I arrived – the Scots are great fun.'  Scotland supporter Jack Penn, 26, a corporate tax accountant from Aberdeen, said: 'The streets and bars have been rammed, it's been chaos, and the Scotland contingent have drunk all the beer. Even we can't get any. Tonight we are on our fourth choice of beer because they have run out of almost everything.' Fancy a pint?

The pub's manager, Brian McDonnell, said they got through 120 kegs of Tennent's Lager during the Scottish occupation and 160 kegs of Guinness, amounting to about 20,000 pints of the stout in a week in one single bar. 'This has been the biggest business we have ever done. This has blown everything out of the water. This was St Patrick's Day every day for more than a week,' said Mr McDonnell. As the Tartan Army head for Miami, an advertisement placed in The Boston Globe saying farewell to the Scottish fans read: 'Boston has hosted championships, parades, and celebrations of every kind. But we've never hosted guests quite like you all.' No comments have so far been submitted. Why not be the first to send us your thoughts, or debate this issue live on our message boards.
