Menu Pineau is a grape lambic made with the Menu Pineau grape from the Loire region of France. This is the same region as the [[Cantillon Pinot d'Aunis|Pineau d’Aunis]] grape. Menu Pineau grapes are also known as Arbois or Petit Pineau and are known for their low acidity and often used to soften high acidity wines.<ref name=wikiarboise>Menu Pineau Grapes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbois_%28grape%29</ref>
==History / Other Notes==
For [[Cantillon_Zwanze_2011|Zwanze 2011]], Cantillon blended different batches of lambic with Menu Pineau and Pineau d’Aunis grapes. In 2016, bottles of the original Menu Pineau began appearing for on-site consumption at the brewery in very limited numbers.
New batches of Menu Pineau were produced in 2018 and 2019, with the 2019 being released in to-go packs in May of 2020 after the brewery re-opened from the COVID-19 shutdown.
