UPDATE: they've started putting multiple versions in homebrew-core (see the message here), so now you'll see it by default:

$ brew update
$ brew search grails
grails                             [email protected]

Info about the deprecated "homebrew/versions":

The versions command was obsoleted in favor of homebrew-versions, which is a separate tap with formulas pointing to specific versions of packages. You can add it with brew tap homebrew/versions and brew update, then you'll see specific versions from the tap like this:

$ brew search grails
grails                        homebrew/versions/grails20    homebrew/versions/grails22
homebrew/versions/grails224   homebrew/versions/grails13    homebrew/versions/grails21
homebrew/versions/grails223   homebrew/versions/grails23
$ brew install homebrew/versions/grails223

You can also look at the git commit log from the regular tap and pick a version that way:

$ brew log grails

When I ran brew tap homebrew/boneyard and then brew versions node I got the following, which looks like the proper replacement:

You should use the homebrew-versions tap instead:

Try this first:

brew tap homebrew/boneyard

as versions option is obsolete.
