Someone i know has saved me lots of Non alcoholic beer bottles. The cobra, Bavaria and becks blue ones. Will they hold the pressure of the fermentation in the bottle without exploding. They look like regular beer bottles. Thanks.
 
The rule of thumb is that if they previously held carbonated beverages, they'll work. Some people brew and bottle in old pop (plastic) bottles, even. Of course, there's some debate about whether or not twist-offs are OK, so the general rule is that if they held a carbonated beverage before AND if they're pry-off / swing-tops, you should be fine.
 
The preference is not to use the twist off bottles, because the glass is thinner at the neck and they tend to break more often. YMMV
