William Bros labels

[Gingerbrews]

Having availed myself of Morrison's great cheap deal on William Bros beers, £1.25 for Joker IPA and Caesar Augustus, I went remove the labels to reuse the bottles.
The Caesar labels slid off after a short soak in hot water but the Joker labels were welded onto the bottles. Numerous soaking and then the wire scrubber to remove!
Is it me? Or would you have thought that they would be similarly glued on?
Maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy

I’m not sure but tell you what, theres not many better beers for £1.25 a bottle (500ml)

I agree it's a great deal. Bought 12 of each to stick in the cupboard

I found the same with Joker IPA bottles. But I like it so much I persisted and found...

...soak them in hot water for 10 mins to soften the labels. Then add boiling water to melt the glue. When the water has cooled enough to handle the bottles scrape off the label and the glue with a knife. The hotter the water the easier they come off.
