Where can I get some Anchor Steam Old Potrero whiskey in Mountain View, California, today? Brick-and-mortar store required.
I had planned to buy it at BevMo, but the online search doesn't seem to turn it up (even though it shows up on Google product search). I'd order it online from one of the many distributors but I need this by a flight on Wednesday.

Call the company who makes the liquor and ask who their Northern California distributor is. Then call the distributor and ask where you can buy it in Mountain View. They should know who they're selling it to.

This technique is highly effective. Once our house had discussed having a Guiness party. We thought better of it, but one roomie didn't get the message and sent an E-mail out to 200 people advertising the Guiness party. I needed a keg of Guiness on 20 hours notice. A lightbulb went on over my head and I googled for the local distrubutor. I asked the question and they told me "Keg City." I didn't even know such a place existed. They had 4 kegs ready to go.

Anchor Steam is based in San Francisco. Link to the Whiskey Page. On their site they have a distributor list, but it looks like those are for their beer. They should be able to tell you where to get their product, or at least who to contact locally.

I think if you actually visited BevMo that you would find it there.

Best answer: You could try calling Beltramo's in Menlo Park (650-325-2806).

Response by poster: I actually ended up going to Beltramo's before you posted that response, madmethods. They had it. They are also awesome.
