How to convert tablespoons of brown sugar to grams

A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of brown sugar weighs about 220 g, so one tablespoon is 14 g and 4 × 14 = 55 g.

This is for brown sugar packed firmly into the cup, which is what nearly every recipe means. Loosely spooned brown sugar is closer to 150 g per cup.
