In another thread we're welcoming a new brewer from the UK. He's using a kit, and in that kit are brown plastic beer bottles:

I thought, "that's terrific!" How many of us would like to take our homebrew to a place that doesn't allow glass, and do so in a BROWN plastic bottle? Yeah, we could buy a $700 canner and all that stuff, but if we had plastic bottles, well....
So--I searched Amazon here in the US, and no dice. I did find some 16-oz bottles here, but they're a buck apiece and you have to buy the caps as well.
Why aren't these more common? Are they difficult to clean? They seem a natural solution to bottling one's beer.
