Can some of the more experienced members here post their opinions on using PET bottles instead of glass? I still think it's a bit odd to drink beer out of a plastic bottle, but perhaps they're worth it.
Potential advantages I can think of are:
1.) Easier to handle/transport than glass.
2.) Better resistance to "bottle bombs" due to the flexibility of plastic??? And even if they did explode, they probably wouldn't be as dangerous as glass shrapnel.
Potential disadvantages:
1.) Not as good of a seal with a screw on cap. C02 loss?
2.) Harder to clean and reuse?
Those are just theories - feel free to shoot those ideas down. Thanks!
