Sub-series consists of research materials relating to individual breweries established in Victoria in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

For record types, see Scope and content note in the parent series description (F-316-3). The sub-series include photocopies of business and financial records of the Silver Spring Brewery (files 8-10) and the Victoria-Phoenix Brewing Company (files 14-15); originals for both are held by the BC Archives. File 10 is an original Silver Spring receipt book from 1912.

Sub-series consists of subject files relating to the history of beer and brewing in BC. Most (but not all) of the files in this sub-series were started by Evans in the course of his thesis work, and many were subsequently continued in his post-thesis research.

Topics documented include the establishment and chronology of various BC breweries; historical brewing processes, equipment, supplies, production and distribution; brewery personnel and labour relations; advertising, public houses and saloons; BC's temperance movement, prohibition, post-prohibition liquor legislation, and debates and plebiscites around liquor licensing in the province.

Records includes Evans' notes and working papers, interview notes, and correspondence; newspaper clippings (photocopied) and periodical articles, book reviews, printed web pages and bibliographies; and images of beer bottles and labels. Includes a copy of Home Made Beverages by a Practical Brewer (1919) and old brewing recipes (file 35); copies of census records, sessional papers of Parliaments and tables of trade and navigation (statistics), labour agreements (1916-1937) and union dues books file 28), reports and unpublished papers.

Sub-series consists of research materials relating to individual BC brewers or brewing families. The sub-series originated in three very large files Evans maintained, titled Brewers A-H, Brewers I-P, and Brewers Q-Z. In each, material was clipped together by brewer with a covering sheet with the brewer's name. To facilitate access, the archivist has created a separate file for each brewer's bundle. File 1 (Brewers A-Z) contains the cover sheets for brewers for which no material was accumulated.

For some brewers, Evans seems to have moved the bundles to the associated brewery files in sub-series 2 through 9 - e.g. bundles for Charles Doering and Otto Marstrand appear in the file on the Doering and Marstrand Brewery (F-316-3-5-0-7). All such bundles have been left in place in the brewery file where Evans moved them.

Records includes Evans' correspondence, notes, working papers, and biographical sketches; copies of census records, marriage records, death certificates and obituaries, family search records, will and probate records; and copies and excerpts from newspaper stories and articles.
