Our Mission
we combine our love for craft beer and gaming to create a unique, community-focused experience. Our mission is to celebrate both by offering exceptional craft beer, delicious food, and a vibrant, gaming-centric atmosphere. We aim to be more than just a brewery; we strive to enrich our community by providing a space where people can socialize, play, and enjoy together.
Founder & Vision
Founded in 2018 by Scott Cebula, GameCraft Brewing was born from a passion for gaming and high-quality beer. With a background in Healthcare IT and a love for all things nerdy, Scott envisioned a place where beer, food, and games would come together to create a welcoming environment for all.
“We want to enrich interaction. We live on our phones and keyboards, but there is nothing like drinking great beer, talking with people, and playing games together.”
— Scott Cebula, LA Times
Core Values
Integrity
Do what you say - We make the best we can, we can the best we make.
Play
Let's never lose our playfulness. We choose companions who make the journey fun. Hey if we can't have fun making beer, we're doing something wrong.
Community
Our higher purpose is building community, both around our brewery and among beer-drinking gamers here in Orange County and in every universe.
Lore
Our head brewer, Andrew Moy studied brewing in Germany and has become a full-throttle lager nerd. While in Europe, he was able to taste some of the finest lagers and pilsners made at some of the world's oldest breweries. That experience turned Andrew into a huge fanboy of these clean, crisp styles.
We love hoppy styles too (who doesn't?) and Andrew cut his teeth making IPAs for Riip Brewing. In 2016, he won a Silver medal in the IPA at the Great American Beer Festival.

Stingray is our mascot and lead brewbot. His Fermy aspect was created by a large beverage megacorp to help sell cheap beer. The craft beer resistance then created an AI virus that reprogrammed Fermy into Stingray. Stingray’s mission is to deprogram megacorp beer drinkers.
Join Stingray and the craft beer resistance by enjoying an independent beer at a local, independent brewery like GameCraft.
