It would work fine but I wouldn't use any stone in the bottom, I'd put it on top of a light box. Filtration would be the touchy part. You'd probably want an external canister filter with just in/out tubing.

What's better for a fish tank -- glass or PET ?

Would be a pain to clean... Clever idea though!
The only problem I see is won't the beer eventually kill the fish?!?!? And frankly, I wouldn't want to waste 5 gallons of delicious beer on a few guppies.

Brilliant, I get it. Then you can turn your 20 gallon aquarium into a fermentor!

It would certainly be fun to watch fermentation in an open 55 gallon glass box.
