You can also set the HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_UPGRADE environment variable to avoid upgrades.

It will also break stuff for you. Homebrew doesn’t have versioned dependencies, so I had, for example, my nodejs broken for me when libicu got updated from 69 to 70 without also updating nodejs. Homebrew index doesn’t take such things into account at all.
