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
— o —
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.
Why Choose GameCraft?
We’re Local. Our beer is brewed right here. When you spend money with us, it stays in your community, not in a corporate balance sheet.
We’re Small & Independent. No private equity. No corporate board dictating what we brew. Just people who care about making incredible beer.
We Prioritize Quality. We use top-tier ingredients and techniques honed by our award-winning brewers. Every pint we serve is something we’re proud of.
We’re More Than Beer. Trivia nights. R&D kitchen experiments. Game nights with friends. This isn’t just a brewery—it’s a place to be.
Real Craft at a Real Price. A $5 pint at GameCraft isn’t just a deal—it’s a statement. You can get something fresh, local, and expertly made for the same price as corporate mediocrity.
Set the Trend. Be the Regular.
Craft beer isn’t just about what’s in the glass—it’s about who you drink it with and where your money goes. GameCraft is here to push the industry forward. Not just with beer, but with a culture that actually means something.
So next time you’re choosing where to grab a pint, ask yourself:
➡ Do you want corporate craft or real craft?
➡ Do you want a faceless brand or a community hub?
➡ Do you want beer made for shareholders or beer made for you?
South OC doesn’t need another chain restaurant pretending to care about craft beer. It needs a brewery that actually does.

Small. Local. Real.
