This really isn’t any kind of secret, and tons of folks already know about it. That said, I just wanted to let folks know about Oregon’s Liquor Store and Product Search Page. In short, you can search for what’s in stock at any liquor store in Oregon. It’s probably of little use if all you want is a bottle of Jack Daniels, but it can save you lots of time when you’re tracking down a special bottling or limited supply item.

It eliminates the need to search for a liquor store’s phone number, call them and inquire if they have that Limited Bottling of 18 Year Old Super Oaked Bourbon you’ve been hunting.¹ You can just search for what you’d like, and see who has it. You can search for a specific product within a 10-60 mile radius of your location OR you can browse by product category (which can get a little tedious).

Search results will show you who has it, how much they have on hand, case price and everything else you need.

The reason you can do this is that Oregon is a liquor control state. In short, that means Oregon owns the liquor until the time you purchase it, and they kinda like to keep tabs on it.²

The biggest heartbreak I see when searching is that nobody in Oregon seems to have anything from High West Distillery and the recently released 2011 Four Roses Limited Edition Bourbon hasn’t shown up anywhere. As you can see from the search results above, I was able to track down some Thomas Handy…Yay for Team Booze!
