where are you teleported to? Look at the pic, please.
If you're really at the beginning of the Treasure cave, check this, please:
Is your gold stacked in one pile, maybe a bit more hidden in your inventory?
have you got other beer, ale etc = interferes with the Rimmer ale
are you sure, you haven't got one more rope from somewhere else?
