You should brush as soon as possible.
EDIT: Do NOT brush as soon as possible! Floss and rinse with water as soon as possible, but do not brush just yet. The acid in our food and drink erodes the enamel and minerals that keep our teeth protected. Brushing when these protections are weak damages our teeth and brushes away enamel that can never come back. It is best to wait around 30 minutes before brushing.

Answer also: I saw this in an article: Brushing your teeth immediately after drinking acid beverages or eating acid food can harm the enamel, says the Milenio newspaper of Mexico City. Reporting on a study done at the German University of Gottingen, the newspaper warns that acid foods temporarily weakens tooth enamel." Therefore, brushing one's teeth immediately after lunch can be detrimental. Instead, "it is advisable to wait a few minutes so that the teeth recover their strength." SMILE
