Brewster did not begin playing soccer until he was eighteen years old. He attended Brown University and played for the school’s soccer team where he was a 1968 second team All-American. In his four seasons at Brown, Brewster scored thirty-three goals and amassed fifty points. He has since been inducted into the Brown University Athletic Hall of Fame.
On September 9, 1973 Brewster earned his only caps with the U.S. national team. Brewster replaced Charlie McCully at halftime and scored the U.S. goal in its 1–0 victory over Bermuda.
After college, Brewster signed with the Connecticut Wildcats of the American Soccer League (ASL). In 1974, he joined the Boston Minutemen of the North American Soccer League (NASL).
