Install a previous version of a Homebrew package
Installing an older version of a Homebrew package:
1. `git clone git@github.com:Homebrew/homebrew-core.git`
2. Go into homebrew-core/Formula and find your formula (e.g. kibana.rb)
3. `git log kibana.rb`
4. Find the id of the commit that creates or updates that version (for version 6.0.1 that is b7f9249c69beb918f322c165595f1a2d3b1a1608).
5. `brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/b7f9249c69beb918f322c165595f1a2d3b1a1608/Formula/kibana.rb`
6. Prevent it from being updated by calling `brew pin kibana`.
