A unique story stands out in the vast world of spirits, crafted by innovation, passion, and friendship. Renowned comedians Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura combined their camaraderie and humor to bring Por Osos vodka to life, a premium brand whose name translates to “for the bears” in Spanish. Inspired by their infectious humor and hit podcast, 2 Bears, 1 Cave, Por Osos embodies their creative vision and commitment to crafting an exceptional vodka made in Texas.
Bert and Tom share a deep connection with Austin’s lively community. From hosting events at YMH Studios—an Austin-based hub for comedy and creativity owned by Tom and his wife, Christina Pazsitzky—to headlining festivals that bring people together, the duo has impacted the city’s cultural scene. In February 2024, they introduced Por Osos vodka at the Drink Por Osos Austin Launch Party, an event that captured the essence of their creation: great friends, great laughs, and premium vodka meant for sharing. The launch party was a fitting tribute to the brand’s ethos, with fans and friends raising their glasses to celebrate the start of something special.
Por Osos is raising the bar for premium spirits with its exceptional quality and smoothness. Made from non-GMO wheat and entirely gluten-free, the vodka’s distinct taste is achieved through Persedo’s award-winning C.R.A.F.T. (Controlled Removal and Finishing Technique) technology. This patented process eliminates impurities and elevates every detail, delivering a spirit that’s refined yet versatile. “We’ve always approached everything we do with a mix of passion and humor, and this is no different,” said Segura. Their dedication to perfection is evident in each sip, making Por Osos a standout selection.
The duo’s hands-on involvement in every aspect of the brand—from selecting premium ingredients to designing the sleek, eye-catching bottle—underscores their commitment to excellence. For Bert and Tom, vodka was a natural fit as it is a timeless and versatile spirit that, much like their comedy, fosters connection and sparks laughter.
Ryan Quinn, CEO of Austin-based Drip MFG, a venture studio specializing in celebrity-driven Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands, praised the duo’s authenticity and creativity. “Bert and Tom bring a level of authenticity and creativity that perfectly aligns with our vision. We’re thrilled to partner with these comedic powerhouses for the launch of Por Osos vodka,” Quinn said. The patented finishing process has earned the vodka the prestigious R&D 100 award in 2020.
Since its debut in Texas, Por Osos vodka has quickly gained traction. With its expansion into California, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, New Jersey, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas, as well as online availability nationwide, the brand is making waves far beyond its Austin roots. Yet, the heart of Por Osos remains in the community where it was born. From backyard barbecues and lively dinner parties to intimate evenings with close friends, this premium spirit complements every setting. Por Osos vodka captivates the senses with its smooth and velvety texture, offering notes of vanilla, citrus, and grain, earning a reputation for delivering exceptional quality and taste.
Sip it neat, mix it into a classic cocktail, or enjoy it as the highlight of a celebratory toast, Por Osos vodka creates unforgettable moments. For Bert and Tom, Por Osos reflects their journey, a crafted blend of creativity, hard work, and the joy of bringing people together. Available at local liquor stores, restaurants, and bars, it’s never been easier to bring Por Osos to your next gathering.
