Moscow runs low on beer necessities for thirsty World Cup fans

Beer-guzzling soccer fans risk drinking bars and restaurants in the Russian capital dry, with some saying they are running low and having to wait longer than usual for fresh supplies.

Moscow has been transformed by the World Cup, with singing, chanting and beer swilling fans overwhelming some of the packed bars and restaurants around the Kremlin and Red Square.

“We just didn’t think they would only want beer,” said one waiter at a upscale eatery in central Moscow who asked not to be identified for fear of scaring off future customers.

The waiter said his restaurant ran out of draft lager on Monday and deliveries are taking longer than usual, at least 24 hours, because suppliers’ stocks are also running low.

Omw to russia to sell beer of my truck.

Aren't they allowed to sell budweiser only anyway, I'm surprised there's so much demand for it if true.

its arguably the worst beer ever and im not even kidding. thank goodness its now owned by the belgians and brazilians so its their fault.

that's true for your stadium beer and official partners, but not for your normal bars, restaurants, and pubs. they obviously can sell whatever they want...

This.

Would love to try beers from Russia. I dont think I've ever had one. Modelos do it for me tho.
