I have heard it said "You know you are a home brewer when.... You buy bottles of beer more for the ease of label removal than the taste of the beer."
Spent last night cleaning bottles getting ready to bottle "The Blonde." Some of the bottle were "Belle" pale ales and porters, these labels were put on with some sort of epoxy or maybe cement! Soaked in soapy water, that usually lets the label slip right off but noooooo.
One had some gunk on the bottom that I scrubbed and scrubbed with a bottle brush. After about 15 minute I realized the gunk was on the outside of the bottle. Should have enough for the batch of blonde ale now, hope to bottle this week.
