Drinking pints of craft beer with friends and local residents, hundreds gathered on Wednesday at the Tavern in Framingham to support victims of the recent bombings in Boston. 

"Without the community we wouldn't have a bar, and with out places like this there wouldn't be such a strong community, said Paul Sanford, owner of The Tavern. 

Brewers from across New England sought a way to help the victims of the bombing, and organized the event in less than 24 hours.
