The story
Nestled in the heart of Cotignola, the Festa della Birra di Strada in Chianti is a lively beer festival that earns a solid 4.5-star rating from local creators. As Sentieri Golosi notes, the event delivers on its promise of good food and live music, creating a casual, outdoor atmosphere perfect for summer. However, they also caution that prices run higher than typical for a festival—a small trade-off for the vibrant Chianti setting.
The menu leans into hearty Italian street-food classics. Sentieri Golosi highlights three standouts: peposo, a peppery Tuscan beef stew; stinco di maiale alla birra, a beer-braised pork shank; and a hot dog con crauti e cipolle, topped with sauerkraut and onions. Each dish earns a thumbs-up, making this festival a worthy detour for anyone craving bold, beer-friendly bites under the stars.

Reviewers rave about the rustic, soul-warming peposo, a peppery beef stew that embodies the hearty, convivial spirit of this Chianti street-food festival.
“I took the specialty of the house, the Peposo, which is slightly different from the classic Peposo from Impruneta. They serve it in a sandwich. It's very good, a little different but still delicious.”

Peposo
I took the specialty of the house, the Peposo, which is slightly different from the classic Peposo from Impruneta. They serve it in a sandwich. It's very good, a little different but still delicious.
Stinco di Maiale alla Birra
I got the pork shank cooked in beer. It's very good, I really missed potatoes — yes, I ate a few. The shank is excellent.
Hot Dog con Crauti e Cipolle
I had the hot dog with sauerkraut, onions, and mustard. I didn't know what to expect, but it's not bad — actually it's good because of the mustard.
