The thing is, you have better temperature consistency when having less beer in the glass. I can't stand the large glasses, the beer gets too warm as you work through.

I manufactured glass containers for over 40 years and this is the first time that I have ever heard that old glass will produce an odor. Please educate me about this?

Glass can withstand both high and low temps, is very hygeinic, it's chemical inertness makes cleaning very easy, and it is virtually imperceptible to pharmaceutical and medical products and certainly not beer!
