Boston bars running out of beers as Scotland fans swarm downtown for World Cup

(WFXT) With three days left until Scotland's next matchup and more World Cup fans flying into Boston, city bars say they're quickly running out of beer.

Hundreds of Scottish fans and others were spotted downtown Tuesday at local restaurants and packed pubs.

"We went to Cheers bar yesterday for two pints and we stayed for 20," said one Scotsman.

Another joked, "We need reassurances from the mayor of Boston that there will be sufficient alcohol!"
