-5. Update Homebrew Formula
-
-    Once the GitHub release is complete and Aspect CLI release artifacts are available for download,
-    follow the [instructions](https://github.com/aspect-build/homebrew-aspect#updating-formulas-to-the-latest-release)
-    in our [homebrew-aspect](https://github.com/aspect-build/homebrew-aspect) repository to update the
-    Homebrew Formulas in the `aspect-build/aspect` tap.
-
-## Test Homebrew Formula and Bottles
-
-### Install and Configure `nginx`
-
-Install `nginx`. On MacOS, run `brew install nginx`.
-
-Change the `nginx` config so that it listens on part `8090`. By default, `nginx` will listen on
-`localhost:8080`.
-
--   Find the location of your `nginx` config, run `nginx -t`.
--   Update the default server stanza to listen on `8090`. It should look like the following:
-
-```
-    server {
-        listen       8090;
-        server_name  localhost;
-```
-
--   Restart `nginx`. Run `brew services restart nginx`.
-
-### Build, Stage, and Install Aspect CLI with Homebrew
-
-To verify that the built Homebrew formula and bottles build and install properly,
-please run the following:
-
-```sh
-$ bazel run //release:verify_homebrew_artifacts
-```
-
-This will build the artifacts, copy the bottles to your local `nginx` webserver's
-serving directory, create an `aspect-build/aspect` tap, copy the formula to the
-tap, install the bottle for your system, and verify that the version from the
-CLI matches the expected version.
-
-NOTE: This is not a test target, because it will copy files to various locations on your local
-machine. The default permissions for a test target do not allow this.
-
-If you would like to perform the set up for this verification step without the assertions, you can
-run the following (with or without the `--stamp` flag):
-
-```sh
-$ bazel run //release:stage_for_dev
-```
