Brewster is a former
World Junior champion, having won the
title in 1995. The Scottish team which consisted of
Paul Westwood,
Ronald Brewster,
Steve Still and
David Murdoch finished 8–1 after the round robin, and defeated Sweden's
Henrik Edlund and then Germany's
Daniel Herberg to win the championship. Brewster has skipped Scotland to two
European Mixed titles, in 2006 and in 2009. Brewster has been a frequent participant in
World Curling Tour events, perhaps more so than the more successful Scottish teams. He has won a total of six WCT events, all European events. He has played in 12
Grand Slam events, advancing to the quarterfinals on five occasions (but never further). In 2002, Brewster was invited to play in his first
World championship. He was an alternate for the
Warwick Smith team which won the bronze medal. Brewster won his first
Scottish men's title in 2011, and represented Scotland at the
2011 Ford World Men's Curling Championship, finishing second in the round robin and winning the silver by losing the final against
Canada's
Jeff Stoughton. In
2012 he again won silver, this time losing in the final against
Canadian skip
Glenn Howard.
2014 Olympic team Former World Champion
David Murdoch was added to the Brewster rink in 2012 to boost the team's chances at the
2014 Winter Olympics. The team did not find immediate success in their first major tournament, finishing 7th at the
2012 European Curling Championships. After then, Brewster was bumped to third on the team, with Murdoch skipping. This turned out to be a successful lineup change, as the team won a bronze medal at the
2013 Ford World Men's Curling Championship. The team then went on to take bronze at the 2013 European Championships. Brewster made his
Team GB Winter Olympic debut at the Sochi
2014 Winter Olympics. Brewster would not see any action at the games, as he would be the team's alternate for the event. However, he and teammates
David Murdoch,
Michael Goodfellow,
Scott Andrews and
Greg Drummond wound up winning the silver medal, after losing to Canada's
Brad Jacobs rink in the gold medal game. The team disbanded in 2014. 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. Subsequently, he formed part of a new rink with
Hammy McMillan Jr.,
Ross Paterson, and
Glen Muirhead. In 2016 Brewster guided his rink to victories over Team Murdoch in both the Scottish championships in February and the European Playdowns in October. 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. ==Personal life==
