Paint turned to putty!

Had a new tub of paint in the shed. Probably would have frozen during winter. Opened it up today, and it is the consistency of hard butter from the fridge, in a pool of clear liquid. I tried stirring it with a stick, then shouting at it. Nothing helped. Any idea? Maybe the shaking machine in a paint shop? Bin?
