The www.findagrave.com site states that Carl was a good friend of Adolphus Busch and helped him develop the recipe for Budweiser beer. Carl was the one who first registered the brand name Budweiser in the United States. Carl’s company C. Conrad & Company went bankrupt in 1882 and the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association assumed control of Conrad’s company and the brand name Budweiser. (Information from Connie Nisinger.)
