English football fans have transformed the World Cup in the USA into a significant “booze tour,” with bar and pub owners astonished by the extraordinary demand for beer. Reports indicate that during England’s thrilling 4-2 victory over Croatia, fans consumed a staggering 45,349 pints in a single bar.
Celebrations included riding a mechanical bull and jumping into the fountain at Texas Live park, with staff admitting they were unprepared for such high levels of consumption, which surpass both expectations and typical NFL playoff games involving the Dallas Cowboys.
At the Londoner Pub & Grill in Dallas, patrons managed to drink around 5,000 bottles of beer—valued at £30,000—in just three hours. While some equipment and furniture suffered from the heavy use, employees expressed pride in hosting numerous English fans. In response to the “historic” demand, breweries have arranged for emergency shipments to ensure supplies are maintained.
