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 1/2 × 14 = 6.9 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar?

Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?
Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.
Should I weigh brown sugar or measure it by volume?
