Scope and content
Series consists of records relating to the Great Canadian Beer Festival (GCBF), held annually in Victoria since 1993. Originally known as the Victoria Microbrewery Festival, Evans was involved in organizing the event in its early years. Files include documentation for a bottle exhibit of historic BC brands in 1994, the festival budget for 1995, and text of a public talk he gave in 1996. The program booklet for 1994 includes his piece, "Brewing began in Victoria."
Records include program booklets and promotional material, copies of newspaper articles, correspondence, exhibit inventory, speaking notes, and budget; files from 2002 on (files 5 through 10) include only the public program booklets.
