Edit your config file:
$ vim /usr/local/var/postgres/postgresql.conf
Uncomment the line starting with:
timezone = ...
And change it to:
timezone = 'UTC'
Then you will have to restart postgres to see the results, which is done with:
$ launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist
$ launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist
