In our coverage of the Beverage Sector this week, analyst Alton Stump, of Longbow Research, tells us his pick for alternative beverages:

 Mr. Stump: Right now our top pick is Hansen Natural. Along with continued 40% type of category growth in US energy drinks, Hansen could benefit from a few emerging growth drivers, including rate price increases, on-premise Monster sales with Anheuser-Busch (BUD) and pending penetration into Europe. They are the best pure play in alternative beverages in our opinion.
