Beer Mountain Life Backpacks founder Chris Gates knows three things: beer, hiking, and backpacks. Well, he probably knows more than that. But just go with it, okay?

What are Beer Mountain Backpacks, you ask? Well, it might just be the best damned hiking backpack in the world. That's because it can hold 24 (yes, twenty-f***ing four) beers, along with a bladder for hydration, all while keeping them cold for extended periods of time. It took three years to make. We shit you not.

Anyway, we talk about the thing that scares Chris the most, which is murky water (what's lurking in the depths?), as well as some great Sacramento beers. This is a fun one.

Cheers!

Yes, THAT Grady Hendrix. New York Times Bestselling Horror Author Grady Hendrix. Writer of Horrorstor, My Best Friend's Exorcism, Paperbacks from Hell, We Sold Our Souls, Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, Final Girl Support Group, and most recently How to Sell a Haunted House Grady Hendrix!

We sit down with Grady (over Google Meet) to discuss his books, all of which make us shrivel in fear, laugh, and cry (only because we finish them). Of course, his latest book, How to Sell a Haunted House, was a big topic of conversation, but we promise, no spoilers. 

But perhaps most importantly, we changed up our standard beer paradigm, this time eschewing local/high-quality/craft beers for some American college classics. Classics like Bud Light, Rolling Rock, Coors, PBR, and Heineken. Why? Because we can. That's why. Well actually, it was because Grady has a nostalgic soft spot for those beers and we thought it would be fun to drink them out of little beer tasters. Something that no one in the history of beer culture has probably ever done. So there's that.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the podcast with one of the best horror and horror/comedy writers of our day. I know we sure as hell did!
