About GameCraft Brewing
our Mission
Although beer is the center of our universe, we strive to be more than a beer making establishment. We intend to transform our community by offering an exceptional guest experience while surrounded by great tasting beer, delicious food, games, a relaxed atmosphere and fun-loving folks having a good time together.
Our Vision
Making our little corner of The universe better, giving the people around us a place to meet and socialize. We want everyone to feel welcome. If you're open to it, we'd love to talk about beer and games.
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.
Orange County, CA, is home to a thriving craft beer scene, with many breweries, taprooms, and restaurants serving a wide variety of styles. Some of the most popular local beer styles in the area include West Coast IPAs, American pale ales, hazy IPAs, and Bohemian Pilsners.
There are many places to find great beer in Orange County, including local breweries like GameCraft Brewing. Our brewery offers outdoor seating, making it a great place to enjoy a drink and a meal with friends or family.

GameCraft Brewing offers fusion food with Asian and Latin-inspired options, plus a hearty selection of American brewpub classics. If you're near Irvine, Laguna Beach, or Costa Mesa, enjoy beer and pizza or tacos with us every day of the week!
Board games and beer are another great combination, and there aren't many breweries in the area offer board game nights or have games available to play on-site. GameCraft Brewing not only offers a selection of board games but also hosts a weekly trivia night, comedy shows, and even live music performances in the large DLC event room.
