Why Utah liquor stores will dump cases of beer down the drain Halloween night

At Midnight, Halloween night, any beer that remains on liquor store shelves — and is 5% alcohol by volume or less — will be poured down the drain. Unless consumers get there first to buy a six-pack or three — probably at a bargain price.
The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control says it has no choice but to “destroy” the unsold brews after Nov. 1, when a new law takes effect changing where beer with an alcohol level up to 5% ABV is sold.
