Legend
Spiced – 5.5% ABV
Urban Legend Series #4 The Urban Legend: The Urban Legend argues Charlottesville was the inspiration for Dr. Suess’ children’s book, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” This timeless tale references the “Whos down in Whoville,” whom UVA affiliates interpret as “Hoos down in Hooville.” Those who embrace the legend believe Dr. Suess applied to the University of Virginia, but when he was not accepted, decided to live in a house way up on the hill to “look down on” the University. This reflects the story of the Grinch that lives above Hooville, looking down on the town with anger and disgust.
