I want to change a 1950’s tan brick to a gray color. I’ve been told to use brick stain but can’t find this product. Advice on finding brick stain or an alternative?

Just scanning noticed you did't get an answer . Brick staining can be a pain to apply you need good eyes steady hands and plenty of patience. You'r going from tan to grey brick what color is your mortar between the bricks not black i hope.
Can you see what i'am getting at black joints staining tan to grey going get that stain on the mortar lines then have to restain the mortar lines may get some black stain on the bricks -- you will end up painting bricks and mortar. Couple of sites to start you of do a google --- brick stain --- for more.
