5 Things You Need to Know Today: April 19

1. Organized in less than 24 hours, the "Beers for Boston" fundraiser at the Tavern Wednesday night raised more than $8,800 for The One Fund, Jack's Abby Brewing wrote on its Facebook page yesterday.

"I still cannot believe the outpouring of support we received for this event," reads the Facebook post. "I think it is safe to say that last night was also the first time there was ever a line outside The Tavern, I hope no one had to wait too long. We will be putting together a more formal thank you soon, as so many people stepped up last night."

See photos from the fundraiser here on Framingham Patch.
