How to install specific Java version using Homebrew?

I am looking to install Java on Mac using Homebrew. This works fine using the command brew cask install java.This installs the latest stable version which is currently - 1.8.0_141 However how can I install a specific version for example 1.8.0_131.

Solution
    1. Install homebrew

    /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

    1. Update homebrew if already installed:

    brew update

    1. allow brew to lookup versions

    brew tap homebrew/cask-versions

    1. list available java versions

    brew search java

    Optional: to find out the minor version of java

    brew info --cask java8

    1. install java 8 (or any other version available)

    brew install --cask java8
