The above no longer works.. 'brew installnow runs 'brew update before installing so the checked out revision reverts back to latest. But there is a simpler way to do it which I found here -> https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/share/doc/homebrew/Tips-N'-Tricks.md

#for docker 1.9.1
$> brew unlink docker
$> brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/11421c44afa35cde32f47ded87ed65f0c953c0e8/Formula/docker.rb
