Inhabitants of Ekeren are also known in the region by their nickname 'the beer snoops'. To emphasise this, a bronze statue was designed at the end of 1990 of a boy holding up an aker, a copper kettle in which beer used to be brewed. At the beginning of the last century, the breweries of Ekeren experienced enormous growth after the city of Antwerp introduced a tax on brewing beer on its territory at the time.

Beautiful statue of the beer taster. During Carnival, the statue is decorated by the beer tasters.
