Series consists of records relating to Evans' public speaking engagements and his writings on the history of beer and brewing. Evans' public presentations on beer go back to 1987; while still working on his thesis, Evans gave a series of talks on the history of brewing on Vancouver Island (The Devil Hop tour), organized by the Royal BC Museum and presented to six different Island communities. By the 2000s, Evans had developed a repetoire of presentations he could adapt to various contexts.

Activities documented include a workshop ("Ale and Hearty") on the history of beer that Evans developed for the University of Victoria continuing education; guest lectures for UVic History classes; Evans' Beer School classes, part of the annual Victoria Beer Week; contributions to Victoria's 150th Anniversary symposium (2012); participation in the Heritage Vancouver Talks Dirty! series (2000); talks at beer and food pairing events; and keynote addresses delivered to meetings of professional associations and home brew clubs.

Evans' published writings found in the series include copies of "Pass the Jack O'Hearts: A History of Brewing in Victoria" (Museums Roundup, no. 232, Fall 2005); and "The Beer Brewers," a chapter in Nancy Oke and Robert Griffin (eds), Feeding the Family: 100 Years of Food and Drink in Victoria (Victoria: Royal British Columbia Museum, 2011).

Records include correspondence; speaking notes, drafts, lecture outlines, presentation slides, and photographs; event brochures and programs, press releases, course posters and course outlines; copies of newspaper and periodical articles; and reading lists and glossaries.
