    This bronze statue fountain by Lou Boonman from Neerpelt was placed by the city council on 19 September 1981 as a reminder of the rich jenever tradition.

    The cycle of grain-jenever-cattle-land reclamation is depicted here; pigs and oxen were fattened with the draff (pulp of the distilled grain) and poor heathlands were made fertile with the manure of these stable animals, so that grain could be grown again for jenever production.

    The Borrelmanneke symbolises the close bond between the city of Hasselt and the jenever industry.

    In contrast to the other sculptures, the size of the images does not deceive you. The statue is easy to find and hard to miss.
