Theale brewery was acquired by the Blatch family in 1854 and operated until 1966. It was converted into offices around the original yard, now called Brewery Court. See http://thealevillage.com/food-and-drink/the-ale-of-theale/the-brewery/ which also features some old bottle labels from way back. They don't seem to have made a brew called The Ale, which you'd think they might have done.
