A date filter in logstash _always_ converts a date to UTC, if the string being converted specifies the timezone then the timezone option is ignored. (See also [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/timezone-parameter-has-no-impact-in-date-filter-plugin/282935/3).) You can convert it to the local timezone in the presentation layer (e.g. Kibana).

If you want to create a string in a local timezone in logstash then see [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/convert-datetime-to-another-timezone-in-logstash/336214/9).
