Can a twist-off bottle be capped?
Out of curiosity (and appreciation for Boulevard's bottle's form-factor), can a twist-off bottle be reliably capped?
I've bottle many beers in twist off's and have had no problems at all. There is also the added benefit of twisting off the cap when they're ready to drink. I recommend them.

Generally speaking, twist-off bottles are also made of thinner glass and are more susceptible to breakage. There's a higher risk of breaking the neck off when capping and also of the bottle cracking or breaking under the pressure of carbonation. I'd avoid using twist-off bottles.
Not reliably. The threads for the twist cap don't allow for a pop cap to securely fasten and will let the beer go flat very quickly.
I've done it a few times by accident, and it worked fine each time, but the risk of an air leak is too great to do it on purpose, in my opinion...
