If you’ve ever wondered how many American soldiers it takes to wipe out an entire city’s worth of beer, the answer is around 6,000 of them.

U.S. troops took a specific interest in the city’s local craft beer, Gull, and supplies of the brew were the first to drop.

Icelandic blogger Eiríkur Jónsson revealed that while the bars were working hard to accommodate the thirsty Americans, “they were fighting an overwhelming force.” Most of the troops left Iceland on Sunday, and now local bars have the chance to restock their shelves and recover from the influx of beer-drinking soldiers. 50,000 troops from 29 NATO countries are participating in Trident Juncture 18 for the next month—hopefully there’s enough beer in Finland and Sweden to hold them over.
