In order to fix this type of issue:

Run in Terminal /usr/bin/otool and check the resulting error message.

If you get the following error message:

xcrun: error: active developer path ("/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer") does not exist, use xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app to specify

Then simply update the path to Xcode using xcode-select command in terminal:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

This should fix the issue and let you run all brew commands without any problem.
