If the bottle is quality, i.e. a brown, non-twist-off bottle from a local microbrewery, can I save these bottles and use them to bottle my homebrewed beer?

That's where ALL of my bottles come from!
Absolutely! My favorite bottles come from Sam Adams. The only downside is the raised lettering on them, but they work great!
Yes! Be careful with those Sam Adams ones though...they tend to break on me...
Mine, too. While I generally try to stick to non-twist-off style bottles, I also have used twist-off cap bottles with great success. I haven't had one lose its carbonation yet. Maybe using a bench-capper helps with this?

So it seems that oxy clean is the best way to de-label bottles. Any other cheap methods?

Yes. I'm all for "craft" brewing, but I draw the line at making my own bottles.
Well, I started out as a home brewer, but that balloned out to glass blower, barley and hop farmer, the yeast lab was pretty expensive...don't even ask about the steel mill.

Did the hop extract thread bleed over into this one?
If you don't carry your water from a stream into your village on your head you aren't a craft brewer.
