Photographer and beloved Paste videographer Brad Wagner drank ten beers then went to Union Transfer in Philly to check out Palmas, TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb, and headliner Twin Peaks last Friday for the musical portion of the Brooklyn Brewery Mash Festival (presented by Timberland, Paste Magazine & Cholula Hot Sauce).
