KY Angel PDF shows $90,000 actual KAITC investment across five completed entries in 2017-2018. Contemporary coverage identified Gourmet Renee LLC dba Bircus Brewing Company as a KAITC-qualified small business. SEC offering materials show Gourmet Renee using both Regulation A and later crowdfunding-style offerings, and Bircus's site and 2022 expansion coverage indicate the Ludlow brewery/events business remains active.
[Deep research 2026-04-11] Additional funding confirmed: 2016 Regulation A offering sought $500,000 for 500 Common Units, and 2021 subagreement for membership interests indicates ongoing capital raises. Company operates from 326 Elm Street, Ludlow, KY with Paul H. Miller as Manager. No patents or SBIR/STTR grants found.
