In one of those "I just don't know what they were thinking" ways, the  
website has a search facility that will only work up to 100 miles from  
an entered location, making it had to just look for a retailer.

Goody website aside, I think what you are really looking for is  
something like a beer distributor that caries this "bru", though I  
doubt there is sufficient demand for any distributor beyond the one  
that has the website.

Have you asked about a bulk shipment to your house?

A 20 oz bottle of coke retails between $1.25-1.50, and I can't imagine  
there is a retailer that sells this stuff for significantly less that  
the $2/bottle it costs from the importer... Coke has lock mfg. plants,  
this stuff takes a boat ride from Scotland to US, that can't be  
cheaper than Coke.

Sorry, but that's what it looks like from here.
