Is it possible to install the beta with brew?

I tried instructions on the site:

$ go install golang.org/dl/go1.19beta1@latest

$ go1.19beta1 download

But I don't get where the new binary is placed. It's not in my PATH.

The go1.19beta1 binary (which you would use to try Go 1.19 Beta 1) should be placed in the usual place where 'go install' places them. If you’re using Go’s defaults, it’s likely $HOME/go/bin, unless you’ve set either GOPATH or GOBIN env vars to point somewhere else.
