(Yes, I did do a search. No, I didn't find answers to the specific questions highlighted below.)
Hmmm...so a friend and I are headed to a concert this summer. I thought it'd be a dandy idea to brew some beer for the occasion, but he mentioned that it's a no-glass venue. Even though we'd probably only be drinking in the parking lot (doubt there are many glass Nazis out there), I still want to be as compliant as reasonably possible.
In any case, I've been thinking back and fourth about those new-fangled PET bottles. Questions:

In any case, I've been thinking back and fourth about those new-fangled PET bottles. Questions:
- Are there any disadvantages to using these?
- Is there any specific equipment required to use them beyond the standard fare for glass?
- Do the caps have that little lock-ring thing that you find on commercial plastic bottles? (The lock ring would be a good thing in my case.)
- How do they stand up to aging (let's say about three months on the upper end)?
