  • Update from Disneyland: GameCraft Märzen on Tap

    This weekend my wife and I spent a date day at #Disneyland and #DisneylandCaliforniaAdventure. We ended up stopping by the #LamplightLounge. On tap was GameCraft Brewing’s Märzen, a classic #Oktoberfest-style lager, and supporting those pours behind the bar was another GarageCraft3d #taphandle.

    A man with a Jack Skellington shirt stands at the Lamplight Lounge bar in Disneyland California Adventure, pointing at craft beer taps. The background features colorful lights and structures from the park at night.

    This handle is part of the continuing rotation of GameCraft Brewing beers featured across the park, marking the third or possibly fourth GarageCraft3d handle now in active use at Disneyland. Each handle is designed, manufactured, and finished in the garage, built to stand up to the constant use of a busy venue while still reflecting the look and feel of handcrafted design.

    It is always rewarding to see something that started on a workbench here in #SoCal being used to quench the thirst of thousands of guests every day at DCA! These handles represent what GarageCraft3d is all about: creating functional, durable, and well-crafted products that serve both purpose and story.

    Another successful pour, another proud moment for GarageCraft3d. Check us out and/or design your own!

    Cheers,

  • From R&D to Market: Laser Engraved Moscow Mule Mugs

    At GarageCraft3d, every test is about moving closer to production-quality outcomes. Our latest focus was laser engraving copper Moscow mule mugs. Using the branded Nauti Vodka bottle from Webb’s Grainworks in Aliso Viejo as our benchmark, we set out to validate whether their clean, recognizable logo could be faithfully transferred onto copper.

    The results came back strong. The engraved mugs carried over the detail, depth, and clarity of the original Nauti Vodka branding, showing crisp linework even on the curved copper surface. More importantly, the process proved repeatable, confirming that custom copper mug engraving is not just possible but production-ready.

    This milestone expands what GarageCraft3d can deliver. With this successful validation, laser-engraved Moscow mule mugs move from experimental R&D into a true product offering, standing alongside our 3D printing, CNC, and laser engraving lines. Breweries, distilleries, and event brands can now bring the same logos featured on bottles, cans, and taproom signage onto durable, high-quality copper barware.

    From bottle to mug, from glass to metal, craft continues to meet craft, and our product line just got stronger.
