Santa Fe Declares the Liso Intangible Cultural Heritage

The Executive will establish an authority to promote the unpasteurized draft‑beer tradition for cultural and tourism programs.

Overview

  • The province formalized recognition by publishing Law 14.479 and Decree N.º 1845/26 in the Boletín Oficial, putting the measure into force this week.
  • The law defines the liso by its production of unpasteurized draft beer and its traditional serving method, and it names the Executive as responsible for implementation and promotion.
  • Legislators Clara García, Agustín Lemos, Felipe Michlig and María Paula Salari signed the bill that the Legislature approved before the governor promulgated it.
  • Coverage and the legal text emphasize the liso's material features: served in a completely smooth cylindrical glass of about 250–330 cc, chilled near 1°C and presented with two fingers of foam.
  • Provincial recognition builds on the city of Santa Fe's earlier ordinances from 2014 and 2022 and on a local origin story tied to brewer Otto Schneider, and it aims to boost local bars, producers and tourism though specific programs are still to be detailed.
