Somewhat inspired by another poster who created neck tags instead of labels, I was interested in a no-glue solution that still had the look of a traditional label. I came up with the idea of a sleeve that fits around the bottle and is then sealed in the back with a piece of scotch tape. As it turns out, a strip the width of a standard 8-1/2 by 11 paper fits around the bottle with about an inch of overlap. Not particularly elegant, but beats having to remove labels with Oxy and such.
As a small batch brewer, I also wanted a simple way of conveying essential information about the beer, both for my own benefit and for anyone drinking it. I came up with this template with spaces for Title/Style, Base Grains, Adjunct Grains, Hops & Flavorings, Yeast, Batch #, and Bottling Date.
Anyone who wants to use the template, it is available here.

Here is how it looks on the bottle:

Thoughts and comments welcome. What would you do to improve this simple no-glue label?
