I'll throw in my personal experience just for fun. It sounds like I'm a little late to the party, but I feel like sharing.
I have a nugget hop plant, and it's been producing more than enough for me to use for the last two years. Last year I decided to make a wet hop beer so I wouldn't have to store all of them in the freezer (which didn't work anyway, my vacuum sealer broke). Rather than make a Super Nugget IPA, I decided to look at the range of AA% for the nugget variety, and I plugged in the low end AA% as a bittering charge with a really simple partial-extract barelywine recipe, and I adjusted the hops so that I'd get the IBUs in the high range for an English barleywine, but if my Nugget had variety average AA% I'd have IBUs somewhere between English and American barelywine styles.
I did it again this year. Those hops brought plenty of bitterness to the wort. I wouldn't do this for just any beer, but sometimes it's kind of fun to just make a few gallons of something and not know exactly how it'll turn out, and not know if you'll ever be able to duplicate it exactly.
