I've found Old Speckled Hen and Old Peculier at the Whole Foods in Cambridge, MA.
OSH is sold regularly at DiCiccio's grocery in Scarsdale, NY (around the corner from one of the world's best wine stores, Zachy's).
Sam Smith's is hit or miss to my surprise, but usually hit, in the kiosk about six feet north of Hot-N-Krusty in Grand Central Terminal, and I sometimes stumble on it in the Korean grocery stores in midtown Manhattan.
Are any of these really cask ales? I didn't think so--at least not under the definition of "cask ale" that I had heard of, though never tasted.
