There is more detail about that at

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.html#DATATYPE-TIMEZONES

Note in particular that time zone abbreviations are not considered
valid values for the TimeZone setting.  However, once you add a
numeric offset, the string becomes a valid POSIX-style setting.
