Hi @vurple,
thanks for opening this pull request. I'm not sure we want to add installation via Homebrew to the official docs since it is not one of out officially supported ways of installation.
I'll leave this open for a bit to leave room for others to comment though.

It's not officially supported as macOS is not officially supported, but it's important for our community that usage on macOS be simple and reliable which is why we work to ensure that Elasticsearch works on macOS on top of the OS that we do officially support (i.e., it's unofficially supported). So: we worked to ensure that installation could proceed when Elasticsearch 5.0.0 was released, and we keep the formula up to date on each new release of Elasticsearch. I think that including something here is okay, but I don't think it needs to be full instructions. We can simply say something like "Elasticsearch can be installed on macOS via Homebrew".

I don’t think we need full details on how to use Homebrew here, a comment saying that Elasticsearch can be installed via Honebrew is sufficient.

I pushed a few changes (fixed the heading, added some formatting, added a link to Homebrew, etc.) but this otherwise LGTM.
