About 99 Bottles
Founded in April 2019, 99 Bottles is about the experience of extraordinary liquid. Built by a team of passionate hospitality professionals, 99 Bottles delivers an experience where there's not a bad drink in the place. 99 Bottles is what happens when someone who loves great libations lets his imagination run wild. A beer bar where “what if we put this on draft?” becomes “why didn’t we think of that sooner?” The place where world-class pilsners share a tap list with Rosé All Day, hazy IPAs, and Dom Perignon. A world where kombucha has a tap and so does prosecco – whatever your taste, this is where you find your new favorite. Like Willy Wonka’s factory meets an art gallery for beer & wine lovers – and every exhibit is meant to be tasted!

WMNF’s new speaker series WaveMakers Live! continues with a powerful and timely conversation that shines a spotlight on Indigenous rights, environmental justice, and political resistance in Florida.

Join host Tom Scherberger as he sits down with William “Popeye” Osceola, the youngest elected member and current Secretary of the Miccosukee Tribal Council, for an in-depth look at the Tribe’s ongoing fight to protect their sacred land in the Florida Everglades.

William “Popeye” Osceola
This second installment of the series explores the Miccosukee Tribe’s legal battle to shut down an immigration detention center built on land they hold sacred within Big Cypress National Preserve, an area the Tribe helped protect 50 years ago by blocking the construction of a massive airport. Now, as political forces led by Governor Ron DeSantis push forward with plans that threaten the land, water, and sovereignty of Florida’s Indigenous people, the Miccosukee are once again standing firm.

If you care about the environment, the rights of Native communities, and resisting authoritarian overreach in Florida, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
