Elbe's Beer & Wine is a beloved Wheaton institution, offering a vast selection of national, regional, and local beers. The store has a historical patina, with posters, decals, and other beer paraphernalia adorning the walls, creating a time capsule-like atmosphere. Despite its claustrophobic layout, the staff is more than helpful in guiding customers to the perfect beer, though they may not be the friendliest in assisting those unsure of their choices. Elbe's also boasts an impressive keg selection, with specialty barrels available with just a week's notice. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or simply in need of a cold one, Elbe's is the go-to place in the Wheaton-SS area.
