We do have it on tap right now at Flanagan's. I preordered 20 kegs, and we only have a couple left. We are going through it like wildfire! I talked to Scott a couple of weeks ago about getting a few more kegs and he said it was impossible. When it's gone, it's gone!

I see that Ashley has already posted here, but Flanagan's is a good place to find Schlafly Pumpkin Ale on draft. I wouldn't wait too long though. Not sure how much longer it'll be around.
Nachbar had a keg for their Oktoberfest event, but that's long gone. Cafe Lou Lou Highlands and St Matthews both got kegs. The Highlands keg may have already blown (I'm not 100% sure), but the St Matthews Lou Lou just put their keg on last week. Selena's on LeGrange Road got a keg. Not sure when it will go on there. Liquor Barn Springhurst had a keg of it for their growler program. Not sure if its still on or not, but it was $8.99/growler last I saw. Pretty good deal.
Unfortunately, draft was very hard to come by this year. But, we just had another 250 cases of Pumpkin Ale 6 packs hit this past Wednesday. Our distributor is already out, but I think most stores are pretty well stocked up now.
Thanks, all. Hope this info helped. Cheers.

Nimbus, it was good chatting with you last night.

On the way home I stopped at Old Town and did a mix-match six of Schlafly, Dogfish Punkin, and Buffalo Bill's. Schlafly is by far the best of the three. The Dogfish is more a spiced brown ale, while Bill's does not have enough body for my tastes.Schlafly has the body, spice complexity, and lasting pumpkin taste I am looking for. I think the spice texture improves as the beer warms.

Any local brewpubs offering any Punkins? A number of years ago - at least 3, if not more - Cumberland did a Pumpkin. It was quite good.

I just bought some bottles at The Fresh Market last night. Not many left however.

I checked last night. Fresh Market has 5 single bottles left (after I bought 1 to see what all the fuss was about.) I loved it and I'm not a big beer aficionado but that stuff was tasty!

Assuming my sales rep put my order in, we should be getting more of this in next week. I have my fingers crossed!

Normally I'm not a big fan of anything that violates the "Purity Law" (mo hops...mo betta) but with all the hoopla surrounding this beer I decided to give it a try. So having found myself in the neighborhood this morning, I stopped in to "The Barn" and picked up a sixer...if anyone cares, they had plenty.
