Homebrew won't pour bottles on Big Sur 11.1 Beta

[we11adam]

Can someone please confirm this issue and/or propose a workaround? This seems related to the product versioning scheme Apple is using on Big Sur.

Thansk!

We don't provide support for pre-release software. Try and see if you can fix the issues in brew doctor, it might fix it. Otherwise I recommend going back to the stable macOS releases.

Thank you! I perfectly understand that. :)

So here's the workaround I've tried and it works.

Edit file:

/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.sh

and change the following line:

HOMEBREW_MACOS_VERSION="$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion)"

into:

HOMEBREW_MACOS_VERSION="11.0" #"$(/usr/bin/sw_vers -productVersion)"

So that Homebrew thinks you are on Big Sur 11.0. You can revert the change when Big Sur 11.1 stable is released.
