Install a Specific Cask Version
It seems it's a big deal to revert to a specific version with Vagrant, it requires low level intervention: https://www.jverdeyen.be/mac/downgrade-brew-cask-application/.
This is a step-by-step example for Vagrant.
Clone the Homebrew homebrew-cask repository:
git clone git@github.com:Homebrew/homebrew-cask.git
Pull the history of the specific cask you want to downgrade (in this case vagrant.rb):
git log master -- Casks/vagrant.rb
Based on the commit comment, pick the commit corresponding to the desired version:
