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>
For [[Cantillon_Zwanze_2011|Zwanze 2011]], Cantillon brewed test blended different batches of lambic with Menu Pineau and Pineau d’Aunis grapes. Because In 2016, bottles of the original Menu Pineau batch was not selected, Menu Pineau has never been sold commercially and was not publicly releasedbegan appearing for on-site consumption at the brewery in very limited numbers.
