How do I fix Homebrew "Error: 'en_US' cannot be parsed to a Locale"?

Every time I run brew or brew cask on my Mac, I get hit with the following error:

Error: 'en_US' cannot be parsed to a Locale
Please report this bug:

I learned through a little bit more research through this issue, that simply executing the command: brew update-reset && brew update, solves the issue by resetting brew.
