Frank Frost got started early. At the age of 17 he had acquired a complete bartenders guide and got to know it like the back of his hand.

Although he had an affinity for drinking at such a young age, his first job in the industry was not until several years later when he landed a job cutting invasive plants and assisting with various tasks at Stoneyard Distillery.

Not long after, Stoneyard’s head distiller, Max Vogelman, was working behind the bar and Frost could tell he was exhausted. He told Vogelman to step aside. Vogelman was so pleased with Frost’s bartending performance that he let him stay as a part-time bartender.

After tending bar, Frost was given the opportunity to help with the production process at Stoneyard in Dotsero. Now, he is the assistant distiller, barman, distributor and tour guide at Stoneyard Distillery, all while holding a job as a full-time middle school teacher.

Aside from the multiple hats he wears at the distillery, Frost also wears multiple hats at Gypsum Middle School as a permanent substitute teacher. He teaches all subjects in sixth, seventh and eighth grade, and runs the chess club.
