Beer was flowing Friday in Utah -- but not the way lovers of the frothy drink would have preferred.

Because of a new law that took effect in November, the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control shipped 275 cases of bottled and canned beer from its Salt Lake City warehouse to Wasatch Resource Recovery in North Salt Lake for disposal, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

The cost of the beer was estimated at $17,700, the newspaper reported.
