Following the 2014 Olympics, Brewster focused on fitness training, in order to overcome limitations due to a broken leg he suffered when he was younger. In a 2016 interview with The Times he said that this training had allowed him to significantly improve his technique.[5] Subsequently, he formed part of a new rink with Hammy McMillan Jr., Ross Paterson, and Glen Muirhead.[5][6] In 2016 Brewster guided his rink to victories over Team Murdoch in both the Scottish championships in February[7] and the European Playdowns in October.[8] Team Brewster also competed for Scotland at the 2016 World Men's Curling Championship, although they missed out on a medal: subsequently the team were passed over for selection for the 2018 Winter Olympics in favour of Kyle Smith's rink.[9]

Tom is now the Ice rink manager at Curl Aberdeen.[10] He is married to Kim Brewster, and has one son and one daughter.
