I have been often amazed at the generousity of Sam Adams.  They really are one hell of a company.

They also have the easiest labels to peel off.  About five minutes in hot water (can be done while doing the rest of the dishes), label is off, no scraping.

Some bottles are easier than others.  SA has good, solid bottles and slippery labels.  Win-win.

Set your bottles in hot water with about half a cup of ammonia, and your life will be MUCH easier.
