Large breweries tend to use labels that are printed on an offset printer; cut, stacked and then applied by machine with glue.
The glue is water based and those labels will come off with plain water and a long soak. If you've ever been to a BBQ, it happens in a cooler full of icy water by the end of the party.
Small breweries tend to use labels that are stickers and are printed short run digitally On-demand. They hold like like a steel weld.
The sicker is a product of 3M engineering and holds like a steel weld. I don't even bother taking them off. I recycle those bottles..
However, if you are so inclined to try, the best method I've found is to use a razor scraper. Then use a scour pad, and hot soapy water.
