Elite global investor Warren Buffett loves the beverage industry - and so does the Aristocrat Group Corp. (OTCBB: ASCC).

In recent years, McLane, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, has bought up domestic liquor distributors in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina. In the middle of the worst recession in generations, Buffett said that the acquisitions were about “developing new opportunities to innovate, grow and lead the beverage industry.”

It’s easy to see why one of the world’s top investors thinks so highly of the liquor business. It’s an industry whose product enjoys the loyalty of tens of millions of consumers with no chance of being displaced by technology. In Buffett’s own terms, the distilled spirits industry is a simple business that’s easy to understand.

ASCC is following Berkshire Hathaway’s bullish lead on liquor. Last week, the company announced the formation of new division, Aristocrat Brands, to identify and promote unique brands that have a mass market appeal across a diverse demographic. Initially, Aristocrat Brands will focus on the spirits industry, which is worth about $263 billion and growing.

“Thanks to the robust demand for new and better premium spirits, we’re confident that we’ll be able to grow our business in this sector very quickly,” said ASCC CEO Cindy Morrissey. “This is a terrific opportunity for us to introduce our shareholders to one of the very few industries that is still growing despite current economic conditions.”

ASCC plans to grow its brand management business to compete in a highly profitable sector alongside Proctor & Gamble (NYSE: PG), New York & Company, Inc. (NYSE: NWY).
