If I like the brewery, I like to get the seasonal variety pack to see how their latest brews turned out.

Yes, the bottles are pop-tops, they come in plain, white six pack holders, and the labels practically fly off in an OxiClean soak. Homebrewer's dream. Oh, and the beer isn't too bad, either.

Any tricks or an alternative for OxiClean for these bottles? I typically just soak my bottles in water overnight but these are barely peeling the outer layer off in just water. |

Not sure of any other alternatives, goo gone maybe? I am using generic oxy clean and the labels peel off with ease.

Just get some oxy clean, nothing compares when it comes to taking off labels.

Try a stainless steel pot scrubber. It can take off almost any label with ease (after soaking). And for some reason it does not scratch the glass.
