Does this still work? I was able to do it for a cask, but not regular formulae.

The only thing that worked for me was adding my own tap and extract a specific version for it, as stated on this article.

For posterity, for kubernetes version 1.11.2, this means:

brew tap-new $USER/local-kubernetes
brew extract --version=1.11.2 kubernetes $USER/local-kubernetes
brew install $USER/local-kubernetes/kubernetes@1.11.2
