Newport Hops

[Shepbrew]

Does anyone have any good recipes to use Newport hops with?

I had a big order for some keg gear and the online retailer threw in some freebies. That was cool and I was happy to get them (although some were quite strange....but thats another story). One of the freebies was a pound of Newport hops.

I did some searching and seems like the last mention around here of these was quite a long time ago so wondering if there is any new recipes floating around?

It's a good bittering hop for pales, IPA's, ESB's, hoppy browns. I've used it as a 90min or 60min hops a few times in an India Brown Ale.

The cohumulone is pretty high, so it might come across as harsh if you were to use a bunch for a late kettle addition. Newport pairs well with lots of other aroma varieties.
