This no longer works :(

This is for installing gradle v4.9
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/8eb5e52e70f8fba2f24c65e398d62ad87e092152/Formula/gradle.rb
FInd out formula(ruby script) for the version you need and then install it directly

Using @bipin-nag's method above I was able to install 5.6.4 (as 6 isn't working for me)

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/0474aefa73fe6e7a7a68592cb65819d08a9adb31/Formula/gradle.rb

gradle 5.4.1

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/639b4c8d71af8cae918d771c1a990ae128f94777/Formula/gradle.rb

Gradle 5.6.4 (last 5.x version and the latest (truly) supported by Android as of Q1/2020):

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/be6b82f442d8a72170bde83b2b2e79a66f342259/Formula/gradle.rb

You can try to install them by replacing the commit of the relevant version inside the brew command

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/<COMMIT>/Formula/gradle.rb

Here a guide to install any grade version

Looks like installation from a GitHub url doesn't work anymore, but you can download the file and run it locally with
brew install --build-from-source gradle.rb
