Thwaites brewery has found a new market in the land of the samba.
The Blackburn brewery has just shipped out an order of its award-winning beer to give Brazil a taste of Lancashire.
And to mark the new export market, Thwaites included a Christmas cracker with the consignment.
Thwaites is currently enjoying an export boom in new markets across the world including Canada, Russian, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and the Ukraine.
