Husband and wife open tiny brewery with massive flavor

FULSHEAR, Texas– Married couple Steve and Melissa Mendez started Project Halo Brewing in Fulshear, Texas to create a unique brewery that is diverse and inclusive. The couple began brewing while Steve was stationed with the Army in the Pacific Northwest. Steve was a member of the Special Forces and deployed around the world. When Steve left the Army, the family decided to move to Texas, where Steve and Melissa grew up, to pursue their dream of owning a brewery. As head brewer, Melissa is key to Project Halo’s success.

“I have to keep reminding people to approach me, but I have no idea how this beer is made; I just know how to drink the beer,” Steve said. “So I must refer her to the head brewer, the brew queen.”

Melissa is an active member of the Pink Boots Societya non-profit organization that supports women in the craft brewing industry.
