It sure does Gwen and I'd be mighty obliged if you actually live in Cleveland if you could acquire and send to me
a crate or two of "burning River Pale Ale" http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/Brews/burning.cfm
that page refers to "English Pale Ale made in Burton-on-trent" this is undoubtedly a reference to the famous Bass Pale Ale first produced in 1777; its red triangle trademark was registered in 1876 as the world's first trademark
while you are at it you might as well include a case of the Edmund Fitzgerald porter please as described at http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/Brews/edmund.cfm

Later-I have just realised that a worthy companion to Cleveland's Fitzgerald porter is a Yorkshire brewery's Lightfoot ale

I once found this on sale in my local English supermarket and still have the bottle labels as shown below but alas the very tasty brew was consumed a long time ago!!
